Cadets from Alnwick Detachment were recently called upon to assist in a rather unusual world record attempt.

Members of the North Northumberland Dog Training Club assembled at Alnwick Rugby Club intent on making a tunnel with more than 1,000 pairs of legs for their dogs to run through.

The cadets, under the watchful eye of WO2 Lynne Bannister, were only too happy to lend a helping leg in this final rehearsal of the record attempt.

The dogs will be back in action at the Northumberland County Show on 25th May.

Cdt Edward Inkster of Alnwick Detachment has won the coveted top cadet trophy in the recent Royal Regiment of Fusiliers cadet competition held at Ashington TA Centre.

Cdt Inkster, pictured above with his trophy and medal, managed to hold his own against more than 50 cadets from across the whole of Northumberland.

Detachment Commander, SSI Ralph Brown, said: "We're all very proud of Cdt Inkster's efforts. His performance reflects the high level of commitment he and the rest of the team put into the event."
