Touring
Committee chairman Ian Miller recently presented a gold medal
touring award to Mark Jardine of Iona.
Mark,
formerly the local postman but now making a living doing boat
trips, logged 4000km to reach the award target.
To celebrate,
Mark and Ian took a quick trip out to Staffa. Wind was F5/6
with a lumpy sea to match and they didn’t linger on the
island. Apparently run of the mill for Mark – his tour
log contains some hair raising accounts according to former
touring awards scheme organizer Ian Webster.
Death
defying exploits are certainly not obligatory in qualifying
for a touring award and normal mortals can start with a bronze
award at 600km. Apply to the SCA office for a logbook today!
