Soldiers from 1st Battalion The Royal Welsh head out onto the local streets as they take part in a 50-mile (80.5km) walk from their home barracks in Chester to Llandudno - blindfolded. About 30 soldiers from the unit took part in the gruelling fundraiser for St Dunstan's, a charity which gives physical and emotional support to blind and visually impaired ex-servicemen and women.

I'm Michael Peterson, a priest in the Anglican Church of Canada, currently serving a parish in the Diocese of Toronto. I'm also a retired Canadian Forces chaplain , hence the Padre in the title. Mad just means eccentric, and on that note, I also blog on toy soldiers, madpadrewargames.blogspot.com. I'm on X (what used to be Twitter) at @MarshalLuigi and I'm on Bluesky at @madpadre.bsky.social
