In April 2009, Chris Martin & Mick Dawson set off from Choshi in Japan to row 5,100 statute miles to San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. They have now completed their journey and arrived in San Francisco on Friday 13th November 2009. Staff and pupils from Hamilton Lodge would like to congratulate Mick and Chris for their tremendous effort and also a big 'thank you' as they have used the trip to raise money for Hamilton Lodge School.
