  1. Hi Dan and team,
    Great to follow the adventure. Was inspired to write to the guardian education editor... Here's his short but interested reply:
    Thanks Will, it's quite a challenge. I'll mention it to my colleagues on our teacher's network and see if they can do something.

    regards
    Richard

    Dear Richard,

    In the swirl of school statistics, data, and mapping progress, here is a teacher given extended leave to run, bike and swim the 282 Munros and take his whole school with him on the journey... digitally. As a teacher at a local secondary school where another teacher was refused a day off to attempt a fell race challenge... here in Kendal is a school embracing the dreams of its teachers and inspiring the pupils as a result. Ironically Dan was running in snow when Ofsted came into Ghyllside last week, but instead of absence data, they could check up on his real time whereabouts, track his progress and see the value added benefits of genuine inspiration!!!

  3. Hi Dan

    This is great stuff - hats off to you.

    It is like watching the Tour de France or Football World Cup, totally addicted to seeing what you are up to, feels like we (we!! - you) are through to the quarter finals, enjoy the semis and the final.
