Race Across The World Afternoon Results:  Update from Miss Curtis

As of 4pm this afternoon, the Cam Academy Trust had reached Ankara, Turkey having travelled just under 3700km. This is an amazing achievement – thank you to everyone who has been logging their distances.  Updates are on-going on Twitter so do have a look this evening to see how much further we have travelled. @CamVC_PE  .   As a school, we are almost in Prague but we are lagging behind Comberton. With the cooler weather this evening, I reckon it would be lovely to get out for a family bike ride and log all those kilometres! Family members’ distances count, alongside pupils and staff.
