Climb for Tibet 2011 - Run to the Summit of Beacon Hill, the Highest Point in Norfolk

Dates : 20th/21st September 2011 (The autumn equinox and UN Peace Day)

Distance from Gorleston to Beacon Hill near Sheringham : 40 miles

David Kelf’s plan was to run from his house in Gorleston to the top of Beacon Hill to speak out donated Peace Messages to the four winds (click for poster) to coincide with the main Climb for Tibet team reaching the summit of Mt. Kilmanjaro for the same purpose. Messages are released in a similar way as Tibetan prayers fly out from coloured flags in Tibet.
More information about Climb for Tibet can be found at www.climbfortibet.org
The projects sponsors include His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Joanna Lumley.
