Two local veterans John Hinds
Landlord of the Boundary Pub and
Karl Smith, will face one of the most grueling physical tests of their lives:
The Ultimate Veteran Bergen Challenge.
On Wednesday, 4th November, this incredible duo will set off from The Boundary Pub in Hellesdon on a non-stop, 64.5-mile march to the Norfolk coast.
But hereβs the kicker:
They arenβt just walking.
They will be carrying full 60lb military bergens on their backs (that's the weight of 60 pints of b**r!) and aiming to finish in under 30 hours with ZERO sleep.
π€―πΊοΈ The Route & Where to Cheer Them On:π’
START: 8:00 AM (Wed, 4th Nov) β The Boundary Pub, Hellesdon Norwich
The pub landlord is gearing up for this Norfolk charity trek
π MID-DAY: Passing through Aylsham & hitting the coast at Sheringham.
π THE NIGHT SHIFT: 14 hours of freezing darkness along the coastal paths through Cromer, Mundesley, Happisburgh, and Sea Palling.
π FINISH: ~1:50 PM (Thu, 5th Nov) β Passing The Gate in Caister & The feathers in Great Yarmouth to finish at The Feathers, GorlestonποΈ
Why They Are Marching John (Coldstream Guard veteran) and Karl (Royal Logistic Corps veteran) are aiming to raise Β£5,000 for three vital causes supporting our armed forces community.
