Fourteen staff from Faslane raised over £3,760 for various charities, by walking (and in some cases running) 42.75 miles in a day.
The team made up of Royal Marines, HMS Neptune Volunteer Band, Royal Navy Veterans, Lockheed Martin UK Strategic Systems, Serco, Forces Financial and Babcock Marine, staff and their families, embarked on the annual Keswick to Barrow-in-Furness walk (K2B) earlier this month.
Leaving Barrow at 3.30am to make their way to the start line at Keswick, the team set off on the 42.75 mile expedition through the Lake District countryside on a perfect sunny day.
The HMS Resolution crew won the team contest in the face of severe competition but a shipyard worker claimed the honour of being the first person back to Barrow.
Team Clyde’s chosen charities are: Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Lupus, Parkinson’s UK, Alzheimer’s Scotland and Arthritis UK.
