Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am joining
a group of like minded friends to replicate the 1982 yomp across the
Falkland Islands, famously undertaken by 45 Commando during the
liberation of the Falkland Islands. The yomp is a physically demanding
120km treck across difficult terrain consisting of peat bog, tussock
grass and rock in winds typically in excess of 20 mph. We will set off
from San Carlos Bay on the west coast of East Falkland on 9th February,
arriving in Stanley around 5 days later. We will camp out and use
sheepsheds and outhouses for overnight rest. Whilst nothing can truly
replicate the hardships and difficulty experienced by our armed
forces in liberating the islands, the expedition is still a unique
challenge and I hope that you will do what you can to support this
excellent charity.
