Out of the 6 Laterlife Challenge category winners we finally
singled out two of our winners James Newton and Alan Hogarth for
further award of our Laterlife Challenge Cups.
Alan Hogarth
Alan received the Laterlife Challenge Achiever of the year Cup
for his remarkable physical activities which defy all the age
stereotypes of someone aged 69.
Alan gets his cup in freefall!
In keeping with Alan's achievements we decided to present his
cup while skydiving - indoor skydiving that is - in the vertical
Airkix wind tunnel at Milton Keynes.
If you fancy a go in the wind tunnel yourself

 Along
with gaining an Open University Honours Degree in Psychology and
Criminology, Alan,69, has walked the 500 mile Pyrenees route from
Roncesvalles to Sangiago de Compostela in six weeks; has canoed 110
miles of the Namekagon and St Croix rivers in Minnesota and
Wisconsin in America (including 12 sets of rapids); has moved onto a
narrowboat and navigated 850 miles of rivers and canals to get to
know Britain and is currently learning Spanish to help him in his
planned 750 mile Seville to Santiago de Compostela walk next year.
James Newton
James received the Laterlife Challenge Champion Cup for
his all round performance in all the categories of the Challenge

 James’ achievements in retirement are so impressive because
of the variety of activities he is undertaking. He has reached a
good balance between doing things for others whilst, at the same
time, thoroughly enjoying himself. His activities impact on
people young and old.

what James and
our other winners have been doing! |
