Exercise Tiger Commemorative Walk 2009
To commemorate the 65th Anniversary of Exercise Tiger myself and Darren Turner walked in US WW2 uniform from the Sherman tank memorial at Torcross to the Landing Craft Ramps at Brixham.
This is about 25miles.
During the walk we raised over £763 for COMBAT STRESS.
We were seen off at the start by Mr Dean Small at the Sherman tank memorial, before walking across the WW2 exercise area to Dartmouth, where we finished Day One.
Day Two began with a commemorative steam train journey on the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway from Kingswear to Paignton.
We then walked to the LCT ramps at Breakwater Beach, Brixham via the US military road at Churston and a rest stop at the Brixham Battery Museum.
The commemorative walk finished at the memorial at the LCT ramps at Brixham, where we were greeted by WW2 military vehicles from the Devon Miltary Vehicle Trust (MVT) and a veteran of Utah Beach.
Funds raised throughout the event are being donated to COMBAT STRESS , a UK charity that provides support for ex-servicemen with psycological injuries.
Many thanks for your generosity to this worthy cause.
