PUPILS from Bishop's Hull Primary School had a visit from the Royal Marines Roller Ski Challenge Team, as they prepared to embark on their journey from John O'Groats to Land's End.

The pupils, along with four marines and their school mascot, set off on the 1,000 mile adventure on September 20 and will arrive in South-West Cornwall on Friday(30 September).

The aim of the trip was to raise awareness of the issues, struggles and difficulties wounded servicemen and their families face when they begin to try and re-build their lives.

They will help the service community and public learn about these issues affecting our forces.
