    Troodos Run Down....

    Gentlemen,

    Three blokes from my unit are going to be completeing a 26 mile race, carrying a 45lb Bergan from Troodos to Episkopi Garrison. They have a target of £500 to reach in aid of H4H and Cancer Research UK. If anyone can spare a couple of quid for these two worthy causes please chuck them towards....

    The Guys doing it are Si, Chris, Scotty. All three are Royal Engineers badged Para and Commando and a 'Hat'.

    Para V Commando should be brutal



    Cheers guys for any 'elp.

    A couple of quid anyone?

    H4H or the Cancer Charity.

    26 Miles through the Troodos mountain range carrying 45lb.

    Enjoy....

    Worthwhile cause.

    It will be hard work from the Troodos.

    That's handy I have just donated the money from my pellet auction, as I had problems doing it other ways. It also gets more money with gift aid. Well done chaps.

    Take care, Matt

    Paul, i'll talk to our kieran and see if he'll pop by on his way home for r+r,

    he's probably spent the last 3 months sunbathing so will be quite refreshed

    Jay,

    Six weeks is alot of shooting David because you are more than welcome at the club!

    Might be worth bringing your gun over

    New Skeet traps have been ordered as the old ones are just about knackered but the trap layout is working fine. Nicoisia Olympic ground is well worth a shoot (Clays 5 Euros, RC2's 4.80.) if you fancy it when your over, I will take a day off work and drive up.

    I took your advice and have binned the fags.

    Just added a few quid too; I did something similar in 1991 when I was out there with UNFICYP, called the DANCON march (run in the Danish sector) but it was 30 miles spread over two days, iirc. It was bloody hard work in the Troodos mountains in early September temps though! Happy days!
