A huge well done to this group of RAF veterans and @_AprilFoolsClub members who recently completed a 100 mile hike across the Falkland Islands! 🇫🇰🇬🇧

The group raised £17,000 for a brilliant cause in @RAFBF - a fantastic effort! 👏

Update from the Falklands Team:
Day 4 - adverse weather and high winds meant the hike was replanned to visit low level sites to the east of Stanley. Even that was challenging and a reminder of the conditions faced by those who fought far from home.

[April Fools Club @_AprilFoolsClub]

Today the weather is very bad which has prevented our RAF guides leaving the Mount Pleasant base so we are on our own and have replanned a hike out of Stanley to visit sites to the East.

Day 4 update from the Falklands Team:
Yesterday we were forced to change the plan due to the weather. We hiked from Stanley to Wireless Ridge, to Mount Longdon to Tumbledown. Although only around 12 miles the terrain is brutal in many places.

[April Fools Club @_AprilFoolsClub]

It is frankly unbelievable that the troops managed to fight up and win those mountains. We held remembrance events on each mountain.

Day 1 update from our team in the Falklands:

Today’s route was 38 km from Blue Beach 2 to Goose Green taking approximately 9 hours, including 5 poignant remembrance events.
Blue Beach 2 was the landing beach for 2 Para in May 1982.
