Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the weekend of May 28th I will be in the notorious Brecon Beacons in Wales attempting to succesfully complete a replica of the infamous SAS Selection Course.

 

This is the same exercise that featured on the TV show 'SAS Are You Tough Enough?' But will actually take place on Pen Y Fan, the highest peak on the Brecon Beacons where the real SAS stage their selection.

Please bare in mind this is a replica of the real thing which is renonwed for taking applicants to the physical and mental edge and then beyond, it has just over a 10% pass rate and in recent years only around 43 applicants have passed out of over 356 hopefuls. Essentially what I'm saying is that I think I've got 1 in a million chance in passing...

 

So I'm telling you there's a chance! Over the next three months I'm supplementing my British Military Fitness training by getting a personal trainer and going on a map reading course in the Lake District. I'll update this page and FB with photos of my progress!

 

Please give generously to a great cause!
