Saturday 12th October 2019, on a damp day, these amazing groups rose to the challenge to raise money for the Royal Marines Charity and the Devon Air Ambulance Trust.
The images are in the order taken, as I followed the obstacle part of the 5K Challenge and returned to the arena.

The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Lochaber dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. It overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle and unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother. It was created by the sculptor Scott Sutherland who won a competition to design the memorial in 1949.
The monument consists of a cast bronze sculpture of three Commandos in characteristic dress complete with cap comforter, webbing and rifle, standing atop a stone plinth. "United we conquer" is inscribed around the top of the stone plinth, while the original plaque on the stone plinth reads: "In memory of the officers and men of the commandos who died in the Second World War 1939–1945. This country was their training ground”
A Garden of Remembrance, which was subsequently added to the site, is used by many surviving World War II Commandos as the designated final resting place for their ashes. It has also been used as a place where many families have scattered ashes and erected tributes to loved ones who belonged to contemporary Commando units and who have died in more recent conflicts such as the Falklands War or in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Near the Village of Spean Bridge in the Lochaber region not far from Fort William, Sculptor was paid £200 for design - compare that with the stupidly exorbitant sums paid for modern "Works of Art"
More winking form Commando Ridge - probably the best VDiff in the UK. Anyone who does not aspire to climb this is missing what climbing is all about - fun & adventure.
The first iteration of the Light Fighters School Commando Course graduated from the program this week.
