Education

Beta didn’t cope well at altitude. Harry still managed to finish fourth, after losing out on a tie-break with three other riders. The last round was held in Bilstein, Belgium, were Harry managed to win. We all enjoyed travelling together and seeing some fantastic places. There was a great crowd of British riders and families showing that ‘Team Great Britain’ certainly has some future talent.

“This year we plan to do all of the British Youth Rounds and Harry will move up to the European Youth Championship although still only 12 years old. He is looking forward to this challenge and will as always endeavour to do his best.” “George is in his last year of primary school and will join Harry at Wetherby High School next year. Both schools are really supportive and take a great interest in their sport, allowing them time off for important competitions and supplying work for them to do in their own time. Harry’s homework is set each term allowing a full six weeks for completion, which is great as if we are away we will always get work done first.

“Harry enjoys a range of sports at school including Rugby, Trampolining and Badminton. He also plays some football at lunchtime, but his nickname at school is ‘Missy’ as he always misses the ball! Both boys love their mountain biking, so the majority of their time is spent either digging jumps and berms or riding them. They sometimes take Dan along for some entertainment or to just to show him a thing or two!

“They compete in some Downhill, Enduro and Four-Cross events when time allows. George also loves Fishing and the tranquillity that goes with it, if only to get some peace and quiet from his brother.”

As a family, skiing and snowboarding are also things that they all enjoy.
