Badges

The Seal Spotter Badge

The badge that started the whole badge awards scheme, awarded to Martin for spotting a seal. Which could well have been a rock. But which then moved and was confirmed to be a seal.

The Seals Spotter Badge

Awarded to Derek for world class seal spotting, sighting not one but about 20 seals of various ages, chilling out on a stony beach below the cliffs.

The Being Brave After Falling Over Badge

Derek fell over and was brave. He was, therefore, awarded this badge.

Being Brave and Carrying On with a Nasty Upset Stomach Badge

Lesley had a nasty upset stomach but was brave and carried on. So she got this badge, which we hope she will metaphorically wear with pride and think about when she's having her next enforced bathroom sit down :-)

The Lizard Spotter Badge

Lesley saw a lizard on the path! Although it could have been a newt. Despite us being nowhere near a pond. So it was probably a lizard. Or something else. Anyway, the badge committee were feeling generous that day!

The Poet Laureate Badge

Awarded to Derek for his exceptional "Ode to the SWCP". A close run thing, what with Martin's beautifully crafted haikus.

The Spotting a Dead Dolphin From Afar Badge

Awarded to Derek for spotting a dead dolphin on the beach from the cliffs.

The Silly Badge Badge

Awarded to Martin for awarding Derek the Spotting a Dead Dolphin From Afar Badge.

The Stupendous Stamina Badge

Awarded to Marina for walking the entirety of Hadrian's Wall, from the west coast of England to Newcastle in the east and then only a few days later, doing another 50 miles of the South West Coastal Path. Stupendous!

The Cheesy European Rock Badge

Awarded to Martin for bursting into song on realising the team were now walking in Dorset. The song? "The Final County!" sung to the tune of Europa's The Final Countdown.... complete with air keyboard solo of course. You had to be there!
