Tarvin History Revealed – Tarvin Residents in Walking Challenges

At the end of 1990, two groups of Tarvin locals took on walking challenges.

In November four teenagers were presented with their Chief Scout Challenge badge after completing a 35 mile expedition across Anglesey.

The photograph shows Barry Done, Tom Poulter, Richard Millar and Greame Couturier with their badges.

Then in mid-November, three workers at British United Turkeys were reported to be planning to walk the Sandstone Trail in both directions so that they could afford to buy a guide dog for the blind. The 64 mile marathon was planned to start at 10.30 am at the Horse & Jockey pub in WhitChurch on 7th December and expected to take around 14 hours.

Ed: While the scouts clearly achieved there objective, the History Group records do not reveal whether the Marathon Mates achieved their's. Can anyone answer this question?
