An introduction to my new Fan Dance challenge as I attempt to run/march 10 miles with a 45lb backpack.

The Fan Dance is a gruelling 24km SAS Selection "RUCK" over Pen y Fan, the highest mountain in the Brecon Beacons. The infamous march is the world’s oldest Special Forces test and is used as the first major indicator of whether a candidate has the physical and mental aptitude to complete the legendary SAS Selection course.

And if that wasn’t bad-ass enough, the description of the route might be…

The route is 24k over Pen Y Fan in the Brecon Beacons in Wales, Pen Y Fan is the highest point in South Wales with a tough terrain probably not too dissimilar to The Yorkshire Three Peaks.
Candidates start at the foot of this mountain, run up it, run down the other side, reach the halfway point then they have to turn around and do it again in reverse. This means that I will have to scale this mammoth peak, complete the 24k tough terrain route, turn around and then scale Pen Y Fan again. This also includes Jacobs Ladder, a hands and legs scramble to the top of the south side of the peak. Apparently its very steep.

It sounds like a mental route but if you’re thinking that it doesn’t sound as extreme as The Yorkshire Three Peaks I completed earlier this year? Well… I haven’t mentioned the best bit yet…
I have to complete this sadistically fun route carrying a fully loaded 45lb Backpack or “Bergen” as its known in the military.
I will have to run 24k and climb 1100m of ascent with a fully loaded 45lb bergen on my back.
