• Abseiling and Climbing.  Purpose built abseil towers (where practical) and a rotating climbing wall will allow you to abseil and climb under the supervision of a Royal Marines Mountain Leader.

• Paintballing.  After a short briefing on some of the Royal Marines’ tactics, have a go yourself using paintball equipment. 

• Weapons Handling.  The Royal Marines Commandos use a wide variety of weapons and equipment, and are world renowned marksmen.

• Self Defence.    A Royal Marines Physical Training Instructor will lead you through a practical introduction into aspects of Unarmed Combat.

• All Terrain Vehicle Rides. You may have the chance of a ride in the Royal Marines new all-terrain armoured Vehicle called the VIKING.

• Talk to Royal Marines Commandos.  There’ll be lots of time to ask the Royal Marines about what life as a Commando is really like, and about their experiences of recent operations.  

You may get dirty and wet. Perhaps the odd bruise. Perhaps scared.
