When I was on the Bulwark (old one) I seem to recall we all got sent off to run around the track at Temeraire, this was in 1976, and it nearly killed a couple of the old 'n' bold 3 badgemen we had. All the ships company had to do it as it was a fleet wide thing. I heard the mob binned the idea after a few of the 20 blue liner and 6 pint a day brigade had heart attacks etc.

Ready to be corrected as it was a while ago now.
