Royal Marine Commando Challenge
This will take place on Saturday 6th October 2012 -- 0900 - 1130 only.
The Royal Marines from their nearby Commando Training Centre still use this world famous Endurance training course on Woodbury Common near Exeter to train new recruits - and once a year in October they uniquely allow members of the public to find out first hand just what its like to take on such obstacles as "Peter's Pool", "The Sheep Dip" and the "Crocodile Pit" - whilst at the same time raising funds for our charities.
Therefore if you have GRIT and DETERMINATION and a terrific sense of humour and want to take on this famous training course then this is the charity event for you?

Re: Royal Marine Commando Challenge
Good effort those who are doing it, you will get a great deal out of it, team work, friendship but most of all it will show you that even when you are knackered and your body won't go on your mind will. as they say Mind over matter. I don't mind and you don't matter 8-)
I did it for the 1st time in 1974 in late Novemeber as I recall, and then once a week until May 75 ;) The Endurance course that is... ;D
