ONCE again, the Sports and Hygiene UK Combat Fitness Team are going one of the Special Force's training and selection marches in the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons, in Wales.

This time, we are doing a 64-kilometre forced march which includes the climbing of eight mountains, on what is known to the SAS as the 'Long Drag.'

The march will start shortly before midnight on Easter Saturday and finish some time during the afternoon of Easter Sunday.

I would like to thank all past sponsors for their kind donations and anyone who would like to sponsor us this time can contact me on 01254 672157. All money raised to Derian House Children's Hospice.

DAVE BOWMAN, Coleridge Street, Blackburn.
