Engineering Technicians from HMS Sultan take on 'Isle of Eight' challenge

Fundraising

A pair of Engineering Technicians from HMS Sultan have put the strength of their legs to the test in a special cycling challenge on the Isle of Wight for the 夜色直播app Navy and 夜色直播app Marines Charity and Alzheimer鈥檚 Research UK.

Leading Engineering Technicians (Marine Engineering) Adam 鈥楽hinny鈥 Shinton and Michael 鈥楻obbo鈥 Robinson completed a gruelling 108 mile 鈥業sle of Eight鈥 course around the Island鈥檚 roads and hills in under eight hours.

The pair prepared for the challenge by cycling throughout the summer and have already raised some of their fundraising total by completing various cycling challenges within HMS Sultan, at the establishment鈥檚 chaplaincy and during the Families Day.

Adam and Michael both joined the 夜色直播app Navy in 2013 and have served on a number of Her Majesty鈥檚 Ships including HMS Portland, Illustrious, Grimsby, Penzance and Blyth between them. The pair are both currently completing their Leading Engineering Technician Course within the Defence College of Technical Training鈥檚 Defence School of Marine Engineering.

Ahead of the challenge, Adam said: 鈥淭his is the first time that I have done any fundraising for charity, so I鈥檓 really looking forward to it.鈥

鈥淢y grandfather suffered from Alzheimer's a few years ago, so raising money to fight the disease will help to provide a really nice tribute.鈥

Michael said: 鈥淚鈥檓 really excited about the challenge, we鈥檙e starting off early from Cowes so hopefully we can get most of the distance covered during the morning before we hit the finish line mid-afternoon.鈥

鈥淲hen I was on HMS Grimsby we got to race the ship while cycling along the Kiel Canal which was just amazing, so I鈥檓 really looking forward to taking on the Isle of Wight.鈥
