Immortalised by the film ‘Heroes of Telemark’ - 80 years ago Commandos were dropped off on the Hardangervidda, Norway. Many years later with some Royal Marines colleagues we proudly recreated the route across the Hardanger finishing at the heavy water plant in Rjukan

Honoured to be given the opportunity to read about an exceptional and courageous Royal Marines Commando at the National Arboretum Falklands 40 event yesterday. Definitely worth 30 seconds of your time to listen to this extract. #Falklands40
Yomp complete, paused at 5.6 miles to recognise @theRMcharity#Falklands40, actually finished just over 9 miles. To the only other person I saw walking who said ‘you’re on a mission!’. Yeah. I was.
Still time to sponsor if you can.
