Release the Wolves! Go Karting on the Heygate Estate


Yesterday was another chaotic day of fun and mayhem for us as we took part in 'Release the Wolves' - a brilliant Go Kart race around the walkways of the Heygate. 

Organised by Cristina with five local youth groups, the race was a great success and involved everyone. Our team of Joseph, Hannah, Timothy and Nathaniel were amazing, with Timothy crashing straight into a wall but gallantly continuing and completing the circuit. Who says 4 year olds aren't hardcore!? The teams we were up against were aged 10 - 14, so we were at a slight disadvantage but didn't let that sway us! (See our team in Blue being unintimidated standing their ground next to the orange 'RRR' team)

Yes, we came fifth... out of five. But we had a brilliant time and we're sure the Pembroke Speed Frogs will live to race again! 






Giving the tyres a final pump for that extra speed...
