Faced with the problem of transporting a 35ft mast ten miles from Venton to the yacht he is building at Oreston, Peter Compton turned the exercise into a fund-raising event. The sponsored marchers, who raised £125 for Plymouth lifeboat station, were met at Lyneham Inn by Coxswain John Dare and members of his crew.
