Re: Exmoor 30:30
Pilgrim - I suspect we share a similar background although, Merrylegs, I haven't come across the expression "bootneck" before. Can you enlighten me?
From what I've heard Exmoor 30:30 is a "pilgrimmage" with much reduced weight. Apparently got a lot of senior army support....in aid of Legion, ABF, H4H and St John.
www.exmoor3030.org.uk or something like it

Ta very much....and yes, I think the marine boys do something similar around Dartmoor.
30 miles over Dartmoor in 8 hours (7 for Officers) carrying 30lb and a rifle weighing just under 10lbs. And that's after all the other commando tests
Good lads them Green Berets

I suppose they might be behind the Exmoor thing. You interested?
Looking like i'll be somewhere else in October, best of luck if you go for it, let us know how you go on

My background is non military. The forum name simply comes from Pilgrims Cross... Was running from Holcombe Hill to Bull Hill in a mood that matched the weather and thinking I should join the forum... trying to think of a good name when through the mist & rain appeared Pilgrims Cross.
Looks like a good challenge. I can't commit to anything like that until 2011 as I'm halfway through both a divorce and a PhD. Intend doing the BGR that year and would be well up for doing this later.
Do girls do the 30:30?
