When 40 teams of students were “released” from the Student Union building in Bristol on Saturday their aim was to get as far away as they could in 36 hours without spending any money on their travel. The winning team called “Left Hand Drive” managed to reach Lanzarote and enjoyed a day of sunshine relaxing on the beach in Playa Blanca before returning to Bristol on Monday!
The annual jailbreak is part of University RAG Week and organised by the Student’s Union to raise charity funds. The members of the Left Hand Drive winning team were Laura Baker, Heidi Trivasse and Danielle Baker-Wilson, their aim was to raise 500 pounds for the Ronald McDonald House in Bristol and travelled 1,665 miles including five trains, two buses and a free flight donated from Thomas Cook, the team also managed to negotiate a free apartment for their overnight stay!
