[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 244810, member: 22"]I`ve never heard of it, however it sounds a doddle, Holland being flat and all. :cool::rolleyes: When I was 16 years old I did the Lyke Wake Walk 3 times, 40 miles (64km) over hills and bogland overnight just for fun. Later on aged 17, I was paid to do a 9 mile (14.5km) speed march carrying full fighting order in 90 minutes. An endurance course of 6 miles (9.65km) run across moorland terrain wading through pools and crawling through tunnels, pipes and an underwater culvert and a 4 mile (6km) run back Next day was a 30 miler (48 km) march across Dartmoor wearing full fighting order. All done in one weekend. No wonder my knees are now knackered. Edit, I forgot there was an assault course in the middle of it.[/QUOTE]
