Hi everyone,
Just a little update from the club!
We may not be seeing Coach Krish again until the end of the outdoor season, as he’s about to embark on what he hopes will be a world-record attempt.
On 18th August, Krish will begin The Great British Skip – skipping over 900 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats, covering the equivalent of 39 marathons in around 40 days using nothing but a skipping rope!
The challenge is all in support of the incredible charity 52 Lives and The School of Kindness, with the ambitious goal of raising £520,000 to help support people experiencing poverty and bring kindness education into primary schools across the UK.
If you'd like to follow his journey, cheer him on, or make a donation, you can do so using the links below:

For anyone local, Krish is due to skip through the North West (Wigan to Preston) on 5th September, so it would be fantastic to have some familiar faces out supporting him along the way.
From everyone at Astley Bridge Cricket Club, we wish him the very best of luck on this incredible challenge! Astley Bridge Cricket Club
On August 18 2026, Krish Patel will attempt to skip the length of the UK. That’s 900 miles. 35 marathons in 35 days. Using a skipping rope. But this...
