Story
Survive The Yomp is no walk in the park. Set in the stunning Scottish Highlands
around historic Achnacarry Castle, this is a 30-mile hike across rugged and remote
terrain; they don’t call it ‘Commando Country’ for nothing.
You can see more of what I will be facing by watching the highlights of last year's
Survive The Yomp here:

Part of the Commando Spirit Series of fundraising challenge events “Survive The
Yomp” mirrors the training exercise normally only experienced by Royal Marines
Commandos.
On 12th September 2015 I am determined to be one of those that Survive The Yomp
– more importantly and with your help I intend to show true grit and determination to
raise significant funds for Royal Marines and their families in need.
They risk their all for us – will you show your support and sponsor me today? Thank
you.

Where do the funds go?
Commando Spirit’s Survive The Yomp is raising funds for the work of the Royal
Marines Charitable Trust Fund.
The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund has probably the widest purposes of
almost any Service charity – helping the wounded and injured; providing support for
those still serving by funding decompression activities, homecoming events and
memorials; providing through-life support to those who have left the Corps or have
lost loved ones. Quite simply, the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund will help
when others cannot.

What is the Commando Spirit Series?
The Commando Spirit Series of events offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences to test
your mettle and gain a rare and privileged insight into what it means to be a Royal
Marines Commando today. The events will pit participants against some of the most
formidable aspects of the Commando training and stretch them to achieve their
fundraising commitments. Participants will be supported by our Royal Marines who
will provide motivation and encouragement when the going gets tough. If you have
what it takes - you can do this and if you would like to please contact me or email

What is Survive The Yomp?
Survive The Yomp, will see brave participants take on the ultimate final test faced by
every Royal Marine in order to complete their training – The 30 miler.
Survive The Yomp, an arduous 30 mile hike across tough terrain in the Scottish
Highlands, carrying full commando kit or survival kit, emulates the final test faced by
every Royal Marine recruit in order to be awarded the coveted Green Beret.
Commando Spirit participants will be tested to the edge of their limitations as they
take on this most arduous of challenges. Survive The Yomp offers participants a
unique opportunity to experience first-hand the Commando qualities required of one
of the world's most elite forces in the iconic and arduous terrain around Achnacarry,
Scotland - the original "Commando Country" where Commandos have trained since
World War II.
