My Story

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of this iconic event, teams of Royal Marines stationed in Commando Units across the country will recreate the 56-mile yomp finishing on Friday 10th June, just prior to the start of the commemorative weekend of celebrations. They will be joined on the final day by others to yomp the final 5.6 miles including Royal Marines Commandos deployed across the globe.

For my part as I am in the Falklands for 6 months, I will be "Yomping" the actual routes from San Carlos to Port Stanley (45's "Northern Line," 42's "Central Line" and for balance, the 2 PARA "steeple chase" TAB via Goose Green and Bluff Cove); all whilst wearing the original kit, including the infamous DMS boots!
