Businessmen 'Yomp' Across Falklands for Charity

A group of businessmen have arrived back in the UK after swapping their suits for hiking boots and 'yomping' across the Falkland Islands for charity.
 
The 12 members of the April Fool’s Club followed the route taken by the Royal Marines of 45 Commando to liberate the islands in 1982, despite being more accustomed to boardrooms in Britain than peat bogs and sub-zero temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere.
 
Julie Knox followed their progress in the Falklands, while Kate Wathall was at their homecoming.
