Friday - The Arrival into London


After four days of hard work from the boys, it was time to make our final journey from Hounslow, into London itself. The team as usual split into two, with the 'not running' group doing some final charity work and making final arrangements. 'The Runners' on the other hand set off with perfect weather and permitting traffic, where running went smoothly for the whole 16 miles into Trafalgar Square. After an hour of final charity work we set off running down to the Embankment for the final stint at the Submariners memorial, met by Commodore W J Keegan, the Commanding Officer of HMS Raleigh.
After Tea and Medals we disappeared up to our hotel
next to the Marble Arch for a well deserved shower and a nice warm bed. With a service at Westminster Abbey the following day, we checked in to prepare the weekend's events.
More Reports and photos to follow.
