Cadets from Alnwick and Broomhill Detachments spent this weekend helping with the annual Druridge Bay 10k Charity Run.

The run, set in the picturesque surroundings of Druridge Bay Country Park, was in support of the Grace House North East Children's Hospice. The charity slant was evident by some of the bizarre outfits the runners were wearing.

The weekend is also the ideal opportunity for the cadets to explore the beach, socialise and enjoy a barbecue bite to eat. The park warden agreed to the cadets camping in the park so they could get an early start in the Sunday morning.

The cadets assisted with the setting up, marshalling and packing away of the event. Northumbria ACF's world famous climbing wall was also available for any members of the public brave enough to have a shot.

A special mention also goes to Lt Barry Lister, Detachment Commander of Rothbury Detachment, who managed to complete the course in just under an hour.
