Rob Copley (Haydon Bridge Group Lead Volunteer comments on a fantastic opportunity for our young people who took part in Project Challenger during the Easter holidays.
"1st Haydon Bridge and 1st Hexham made a great team to go and crew a 35 mtr ocean going racing yacht, a Challenger 72, off the South Coast this week. Some real wild weather, we were out in a force 7 but was excellent fun and the Scouts loved getting a soaking! "
