Navy nurse Laura Thomasson, 24, British civilians Belinda Kirk, 35, and Bev Ashton, 29, and US marine Angela Madsen, 50, who is wheelchair-bound, passed under London’s Tower Bridge to end the 51-day trip.
“I feel brilliant,” the Sun quoted Thomasson, who is set to be deployed to Afghanistan in 2011, as saying.

The girls were racing a male team - who had to pull out after two weeks. (ANI)
