How far from Bolton do you think you can get in 36 hours...
without any money!?!

On Saturday March 6th 09:00am teams will be 'released' from 'jail' at the University of Bolton, and will have 36 hours to get as far away from Bolton as possible, without spending any money on transport!

 

Sign up for the University of Bolton's first Jailbreak Charity Hitchhike Saturday March 6th 2010 at www.boltonjailbreak.com|

 

Registration closes at midnight on 25th February 2010.

 

The event is in aid of raising money for Bolton Hospice.(http://www.boltonhospice.org.uk|)

 

The Concept

You will be released in your teams from the University of Bolton where you have just 36 hours to get as far away as possible, without spending a single penny. The concept is simple, using only your powers of persuasion, sharpened sweet talk,and improvisation, to charm your way onto cars, buses, trains, planes and whatever else you can manage. Run if you have to!

You could be finding yourselves beneath tropical palms, amongst ancient Pyramids or in a hazy Amsterdam coffee shop. With persuasion and persistence the possibilities are endless...

The winners will be the team who gets the furthest away within the 36 hour time period.  All we ask to evidence your arrival in any location is a photo of you at a landmark in the city/town you reach with a local newspaper.  People will be able to keep tabs on you with our online sms google maps tracking system.  Make sure you blag yourselves a return trip, as once the time is up, its up to you to find your way back to Bolton.

Need more information?

If you have any questions or want some more information we are holding an advice day on Tuesday 16th Feb 2010 at 7pm in the Loft Bar (before poker).

Alternatively, you can pop into the Students' Union at any time and speak to Rob Church.  There is also a facebook group - just search for 'Bolton Jailbreak'.
