Protek’s Self-Build team, which is based in Edenbridge, Kent successfully completed their local Hever Commando Series event at Hever Castle this weekend. The event raises money and awareness for the important work of the Royal Marines Charity In favourable conditions and amidst slight trepidation, our troops disembarked their landing craft amid a frenzy of smoke and noise makers before engaging the twenty four challenging marine inspired obstacles positioned around the five kilometre course.
Protek’s MD Simon Middleton said “The Hever Commando Series course definitely lived up to its description as being the only event that can recreate the mud, sweat and pain of modern day Royal Marine Commando training. The military warm up alone was gruelling and that was before we’d started!”
The teams next challenge to be announced shortly!
