First man to finish Trailwalker
The first man to finish Trailwalker 95 was the sole survivor of a Gurkha team from the Queen's Gurkha Signal Regiment. Signaller Manbahadur Thada lost about 50 minutes helping to carry his teammate to safety (hamstring injury), who was injured between checkpoints 3 and 4. Thada was then about 30 minutes behind the leading team, but in a remarkable solo effort he regained the lead, accompanied by Queen's Gurkha Support too, cross the finishing line first, after 13 hours 54 minutes.
The winning team (Carlingford Comets) finished in 14 hours 26 minutes.
Thada was a member of last year's winning team.
