Hi,

Does anyone have any info on the tunnels which are found on
the Endurance course. I have a PRC coming up soon and am confident of passing
but am not keen on the idea of the tunnels. Do they have
routes coming off them, or do they dip down further once you're in them? I reckon I can do them
but would be grateful for a heads up as to what to expect.

Cheers for any advice

If you are close enough to Lympstone or Woodbury go take a look they are on Common Land... :wink:

I guess you mean the PRMC (Potential Royal Marines Course). The Endurance course is not part of the selection for recruit entry. The only tunnels which you are expected to go through are those on the assault course.

I wouldn't worry too much about the tunnels just keep crawling. You've got the eight foot fully flooded one, another one that's partially flooded and others that have gravel in. Some are pitch black and you have to feel your way out. The worst thing is the huge great bloody pebbles you keep kneeling on, i swear they're put diliberately where you put you knees for maximum pain!

@PRec a few times on and off during my 24 years, notably Training, JCC (with a Telegraph Pole), SCC, ACC (supposedly for fun)
