The Annual Royal Marines Commando Shuffles took place on the 12th October and saw a team of 38 take on the 12-mile speed march. The Troop stepped off from the War Memorial in Barnstaple along the Tarka Trail past RMB Chivenor before finishing at the Saunton Sands Hotel on Braunton Beach. The Troop was headed up by Royal Marines veteran Al Blanchard to fundraise for RMA - the Royal Marines Charity and The Special Boat Service Association. It was said that it was an excellent day for all with a great turnout that gets bigger and bigger each year and, as always, well put together by Al and his team.

Yesterday to mark the 360th birthday of the Corps, over 30 RMA members took on the challenge to summit Ben Nevis. They carried with them 137 crosses to honour the 80th anniversary of the 137 Royal Marines who lost their lives on D-Day. The crosses have travelled 'By Sea, By Land' to reach the summit and have travelled overland to 43 Cdo, where the Royal Marines Paddle Group Branch collected them and embarked on the sea element of the journey to Fort William. On Thursday 24th Oct the crosses were passed to RMA-The Royal Marines Charity to be carried to the summit of Ben Nevis, the highest point in the UK, to toast the Corps 360th birthday, remember the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the Royal Marines that paid the ultimate sacrifice. The crosses will travel back to England before being laid to rest at the Graspan Memorial on Remembrance Day. A hoofin' effort made by everyone who was involved. "By Sea By Land, we will remember them." https://lnkd.in/e_hr-8RJ
