WARWICK JAILBREAK

 
 

Hello!

We are Warwick Jailbreak. 

A unique charity hitch hike event where you could end up ANYWHERE over a weekend. Fundraising for Practical Action this year. 36 hours, no money, how far can you go?

This is an adventure and a charity event. In the past people have blagged their way to Tenerife, Cyprus, Morocco, Spain, Poland, New York, Vancouver, Luxembourg, Amsterdam and err... Birmingham.

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!! This will be one of the highlights of your time at University.

Or.. you could get an early night for Monday's lectures.

Take a look at the website and get involved!!

Our online tracker runs live during the event and positions each team on a google maps system based on received SMS messages.
