THE
GREEN 
MILE

Firstly, Hats off to you all who attended MANDOWN on Saturday evening. Like we said at the start of the night, ‘’if you are stood here ready to do this then you already have something about you’’

 

It was a small unknown step into the world of special forces training and each of you dealt with it like a champ! 

 

From all of us in The Green Mile Training Team, Thankyou for all your efforts. You made it a truly superb evening. 

 

Out of the 39 candidates that entered, 11 got through til the end. It pushed many to tears and some to breaking point, but ultimately caused every candidate to exert themselves well outside of their comfort zone. 

 

People rarely get to see where their strengths and weaknesses lie in such extremis, but MANDOWN offered that opportunity. 

 

We as a training team got to witness the best of human endeavour; bucket loads of grit, courage, cheerfulness in the face of adversity and most of all human spirit!

For those remaining 11 we don’t think you'll ever hear the tune Kumbaya, or Wonderwall by Oasis and not reminisce on that time you spent in that plunge pool. (It was -1℃ outside at that point by the way!)

 

Thanks again, and if you missed out on MANDOWN 1, then don’t worry, MANDOWN 2 is coming on the 30th APRIL 2022. Tickets are available now! You have plenty of time to train! 

 

Stay fit and healthy through winter.

 

Best

 

The Green Mile Training Team
