Heathrow Hello!!

HI to all, we are now in Terminal 3 here at Heathrow waiting to get on our flight to Delhi later on this evening.

What a send off from family, friends and colleagues. After a heart rendering speech from Mayor Tony Hall and the kind words of John Denis Chair of Govenors we had a hassle free journey down the motorway to London.

The day started very early with Radio Si on air from before 6am!! Minster Northallerton broadcasting from the college all morning and getting insights from numerous members of the team. A warm send off from the current Y10 students in assembly and from Mrs Phipps and Mr Merrifield gave the team a real feel of purpose and drive.

After loading up the coach kindly supplied by local firm Proctors we were met again by parents for coffee and butties. After a few photos and tearful goodbyes the fire bell went and we were joined by the whole of the college and had it been a real fire Debbie would have douced it in moments with her tears!!! The last couple of goodbyes and then we rolled out of town!!

So we thank you all for everything thus far, moral is high, whilst watching Bruce Almighty a loud cheer went up on the bus when a scene came up with Bruce on the top of Everest!!

We are in good hands and it wont be long until we will back in touch, thanks again to everyone,

Bon voyage!!

The Team

  1. Hi Team Everest!
    Hope flight was not too boring and Delhi is not too scarey - Thinking of you all - great send off yesterday, The Mayor had me fighting back the tears, he was like everyone's Grandad, he's been great.
    Tell George Hannah's taken on his pet feeding duties while he's away and without too much of a protest and she's finally stopped crying!

    Going to create a news page on our company website today and add a link to your blog page so all our customers and villagers can follow your adventure.
