TWO Royal Marine physical training instructors have marked the 350th anniversary of the Royal Marine Corps by flipping a tyre around HMS Raleigh in Torpoint.

Sergeant Rob Garthland and Corporal Kris Foster set themselves a 350-themed test of strength and endurance for charity, which included the 3,500-metre tyre flip equating to two laps of the perimeter road around the Royal Navy training base. They also warmed up with a run, swim and row of 3,500 metres each and completed a 350-metre rope climb. They finished their activities with a Spartan 350, seven sets of 50 bodyweight exercises. The pair aim to raise £1,000 for the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charitable (RNRMC) Trust, which supports personnel, veterans and their families.
