To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Hertford’s iconic Bridge of Sighs, college students, staff and alumni are taking part in a cycle ride to its namesake in Venice, raising money for student support; access, bursaries and scholarships.
Over 100 Hertfordians completed the first phase – the 100 miles from Oxford to Portsmouth – with thirty-two expected to complete the entire course to Venice over eleven days. Hertford College Principal Will Hutton confirmed that the £250,000 fundraising target had been exceeded.
Cherwell was on the scene as Hertford cheered off its riders under the Bridge of Sighs on Saturday morning.
