Looe’s ‘Poppy Man’, Dave Welch, and David Massey on the zipwire


Daring Dignitary springs zipwire surprise


Looe’s mayor proved he is always prepared to leap into action as he shot down a zipwire for a good cause.


Armand Toms had gone along to the Adrenaline Quarry near Liskeard to support ‘Poppy Man’ Dave Welch and David Massey, of the RBL, as well as Looe Town Council staff Annette Keen and Laura Kellaway.


The four were taking on the 490m zipwire challenge for the Royal British Legion and the mayor’s charity.


But when the chance came to get in on the action,


Armand could not resist taking the 40mph ride down the wire.


Having just come from the launch of Looe Rowing Club’s new gig, the mayor was in formal attire, including the heavy chain of office.


But this outfit was nothing compared to the distinctive head-to-toe poppy suit worn by Dave Welch as he sped over the water-filled quarry.


Annette’s husband Simon decided he would join in with the fun too – and more than £500 has been pledged for the six fundraisers so far.
