The Yomp is no walk in the park. Set in the Scottish Highlands this is a 30-mile hike across rugged and remote terrain; they don’t call it ‘Commando Country’ for nothing.

On 14th September this year Mike, Terry, Simon and Steph are determined to "Survive The Yomp", which mirrors the training exercise normally only experienced by Royal Marine Commandos.

With your help we intend to exchange our sedentary lifestyles for walking boots, plasters and meagre survival rations to raise significant funds for Royal Marines and their families in need.

They risk their lives for us – will you show your support and sponsor us today? Thank you.

What is the Commando Spirit Appeal?

Commando Spirit is an Appeal on behalf of the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund with a mission to raise £1m by 2014 for the charity.

Why the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund?

The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund has probably the widest purposes of almost any Service charity – helping the wounded and injured; providing support for those still serving by funding decompression activities, homecoming events and memorials; providing through-life support to those who have left the Corps or have lost loved ones. Quite simply, the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund will help when others cannot.

What is Survive The Yomp?

The third event in the Commando Spirit series of challenges, Survive The Yomp, will see a small band of brave participants take on the ultimate final test faced by every Royal Marine in order to complete their training – The 30 miler.

The Yomp, an arduous 30 mile hike across tough terrain in the Scottish Highlands, carrying full kit, emulates the final test faced by every Royal Marine recruit in order to be awarded the coveted green beret. Commando Spirit participants will be tested to the edge of their limitations as they take on this most arduous of challenges. The Yomp offers participants a unique opportunity to experience first hand the Commando qualities required of one of the world's most elite forces in the iconic and arduous terrain around Achnacarry and Spean Bridge - the original "Commando Country" where Commandos have trained since Word War II.
