YDS 30:30

Mark — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:29:12 +0000

Exmoor 30:30, the rugged endurance race covering 30 miles or 30 kms whilst carrying 30lbs has announced the dates for 2012 – Saturday 15th September. Last year’s event saw several teams from far and wide including the Norwegian Special Forces, the Parachute Regiment, the Metropolitan Police, as well as corporate teams, complete the course in the most inhospitable weathers. And for the first time, the event had the corporate support of Europe’s largest military footwear manufacturer, YDS.

Exmoor 30:30 raises funds for the Royal British Legion. For the first time the event offered alternative courses – a 30 mile course or a 30km course – and not only did the event attract twice the number of female participants but we also saw a junior (under 18) team complete the course too.

Last year’s winning team – South Molton Branch Team of the Royal British Legion, completed the 30 mile course in 8 hours 55 mins and raised a total of £13,000.

At the end of the gruelling day a well earned dinner includes the presentation of the trophies. YDS is delighted to be supporting this event that classically displays why comfortable, well fitting, supportive footwear is essential.

Anyone wishing to participate in this year’s event should visit www.exmoor3030.org.uk

Footage Of IED Defusal

The BBC has Ministry of Defence footage of a specialist bomb disposal team in Afghanistan.

Watch the clip: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14884652 .

It’s good insight into the courageous work of a counter-IED (improvised explosive device) team based in Helmand, with headcam footage filmed by both the “searchers”.

Well done to Rod and the boys. We’re looking forward to seeing more of them.

The Bomb Squad

More footage like this will appear we’re told in a new 2 part documentary, The Bomb Squad starting in September – coming soon on iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b014s26y/ .

YDS Sponsor Exmoor 30:30 2011

Richard — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 21:29:23 +0000

YDS have announced they are to sponsor the 2011 Exmoor 30:30. To help launch YDS boots in the UK, YDS is sponsoring this September’s race across the Moors.

Exmoor 30:30

The Exmoor 30:30 is a tough but achievable challenge test of fitness, navigation & teamwork. Here are the details:

30 miles or 30 kilometres, within 12 hours, across Exmoor, carrying 30 lbs
Team event: participate in a ‘solo’ team of 5 or in a ‘relay’ team of 5+
Male/female/mixed teams all welcome
All sponsor monies raised going to The Royal British Legion.

To find out more or to enter visit www.exmoor3030.org.uk .

The Exmoor is a serious race for physically fit individuals to test themselves against both terrain and weather in a timed competition through 10 manned checkpoints across Exmoor. It appeals to both civvy slackers & military personnel – but it most definitely is, as they put it, for “competitors, not casualties”. Whether solo or in a team, choose your class, and test yourself in one of the UK’s toughest races.

All racers attempt to raise £500 for The Royal British Legion, which is terrific – so good luck to all the competitors!
