No idea mate.

Its organised by the regular army P Company training team and the standard on the 10miler is the same no matter which one of the courses you do.

The only exception is that you have 1hr 50 mins to do it and no selfrespecting paratrooper would come in under 1hr 20mins.... apparantley!!!!

1hr 50mins without the aid of an ambulance will do me just fine

Yes mate. What Im doing is the final hurdle of many that they have to complete.

So really Ive got it easy

No mate I was'nt Para Reg. Just a normal Tom.

The advantage Ive got is that I wont have gone through the whole P Company pasting prior to the 10 miler.

In theory I should be nice and fresh!!!!

It always used to piss me off when the yanks criticised our handling of the Troubles.

I suffered American naivety first hand when I was stationed there briefly. They have a very 'Robin Hood' image of Republican terrorists.

I should add that they have donated an 8th of what Im hoping for.
