The Debain crew wins the rally-walk

One Saturday afternoon, the Friends of the beach of Vierville-sur-Mer organized a tourist rally-walk of about seventy kilometers. Nineteen crews took off. The course had been prepared by Ms. Gosselin, who had won this event four times in previous years.

Equipped with a roadmap and a questionnaire, participants left Vierville in four different directions. Nevertheless, they had to pass the same tests and finish in the hall of the initiative union. The questions were about the region and nature. Despite some abandonments, the most insightful participants were happy to discover places in the Bessin that they did not know, including the panorama of Mount Cavalier, on the Escures mound near the Fosses Soucy, or the Odo mill in Grandcamp.

In the evening, an aperitif preceded the announcement of the results by Mrs. Gosselin. The published ranking was: 1st, Debain; 2nd, Maintel; 3rd, Claudette Naniche; 4th, Racine; 5th, Sylvie Philippe; 6th, Pierre Naniche; 7th, Marie Mauduit; 8th, Bordeaux; 9th, Lacroix; 10th, Dhorne.
