Paul Bateson - DeafRun 2013

UK Gear is proud to support Paul Bateson and Run for Hearing Aid

About the Run

The run will consist of a clockwise lap around the complete boundary of Granada Province, starting and finishing in Alhama de Granada. Distance circa 1000km in approximately 25 days. It will take place in May 2013 (after the clocks go forward and late enough to avoid any problems with snow).

Logistically there will be a support vehicle, preferably camper van with facilities to sleep minimum of 3 people. The team will consist of a driver and a support driver with one preparing food, snacks, massage, medical aid if required. The use of the van enables night stops wherever convenient as some villages may not have accommodation.
