Carol Yeend, leader, said: “Everyone dressed in jingling reindeer antlers and light-up noses it made quite a sight for passers-by. The reindeers were accompanied by Santa Claus.

“The girls collected sponsor money and the event as a whole event raised over £2,000 for Chestnut Tree House – a fantastic effort by the whole district. Requests have already been made to repeat the event again next year.”

The reward for completing the walk was a hot dog and drink, with the sausages donated by Malpass Markets and cooked for the Girl Guides by beach residents.
