Calais Challenge

This is a challenge set for any British public boarding school boy/ girl. One driver and a group of loyal comrades embark on a return trip to Calais in one night. The aim is to sneak out of the boarding house after the evening register, drive to folkestone, hop over to calais, get a snap of the 4 pioneers in front of the famous "Calais Sign" and get back to the boarding house in time for some brekky without being caught. You later show your housemaster/ housemistress the photo with a marked time. As the myth goes this has only been completed once by 4 Harrowvian troopers. These men will forever be remembered in the hearts and minds of public school boys future, present and past.

Back in my school days I completed the Calais challenge with my mates.

Did you hear about the legend of the Calais challenge.
