Yes, that's what some of our adult members do for fun!

On the 29th of May, we were represented on the Aberdeen kilt walk by Krists, his Dad, and PO Denton who were all able to complete it whilst representing the unit.

We were there not only to support our fellow crew members and cadets but also as on-course stewards by handing out water and other refreshments. We were joined at Pitstop Number 5 along the walk by Bridge of Don Sea Cadets, and in the style of our typical Scottish weather, we had sun, wind, and rain but were all smiling through it.

This year saw a whopping 2300 walkers put their best foot forward and together raised over £924,000 for those most hard hit by the increasing cost of living.

BZ to everyone who took part in what was obviously a marathon effort at 26.2miles long! Ouch!

As we close down for the festive period. we would like to take this time to wish all our supporters, friend and family of Sea Cadets - Aberdeen a Very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. 

Lets hope 2022 will be a good one.
