For each leg the young scouts were accompanied by a parent. Keith Jones is linked to this team, but on this occasion he walked the full 40-Miles for his 4th time.
Each leg started at about the time the checkpoint opened & before the previous leg was completed. The elapsed time is calculated by adding the times for each leg.
Excellent Challenge. WELL DONE TO EVERYONE.
