DEEPBRIDGE CHALLENGE 2022

This year the Deepbridge Challenge returned, a yearly challenge where Deepbridge team members get together to tackle a physical challenge in the name of charity.

This year, on 24th September, Deepbridge members completed the hilly and challenging terrain of Bwlch Penbarras (just south of Moel Famau) to Prestatyn on the ‘Offas Dyke Trail Path’, approximately 22.5 miles.

The chosen charity for this year’s challenge was Cancer Research, which is a cause close to everyone at Deepbridge’s hearts. Any donations would be greatly appreciated, no matter how small, and will be entirely given to Cancer Research.
