No worries, if you are about Brecon and want to get out, just shout. I'll load up and I promise not to run up anything.
O/T - there's a nice looking race running for the first time this year - inspired by Dragons Back - 2 good days out: https://apexrunning.co/events/raceacrosssnowdonia , I'm not sure whether I'm doing Cape Wrath this year but if not will start to look seriously at it.andy_s said:

I just caught up with the first episode.
The location, back in Scotland, is good, I agree.
I always find Ant Middleton a bit annoying, if I'm honest - Number 11 had a smile when he was doing his bit and I'm not 100% surprised - He comes over as a bit of a caricature of himself, the other guys are quiet and exude quiet self-confidence while he piles on the tough guy act - I guess it is all an act for the programme and maybe the whole process, but it does come over as a bit hammy and clearly not just to me.
The trials, as usual, are genuinely pretty tough - The barrels seem a bit rough, it seems pretty clear that the women struggle to even lift them, whereas the gym-bunny blokes find them relatively easy. Looking at the staff, you'd have to say, while undoubtedly fit, none of them exactly look like bodybuilders.
Still, most of the tasks are ones I'd struggle with (I'm 57 though with a weak knee from a skiing accident, so hardly prime candidate territory), especially the fall-back dive.
I'm not good with heights, but the underway boarding exercise looked like good fun - I'd have a go at that!

Wasn't that filmed in South America straight before or after the civilian one at that location?
Maybe a different show? The one I recall (won by a rugby player) had the degrees of the place in it's name, like 37° North or something.CaptainSlow said:

Who's the ringer...
White bloke, late 30s, beard....deep undercover SAS style. He was back left on the parade square.
It amazes me that when asked to write a essay about themselves they pour their little hearts out. I'm nowhere near fit enough for this. But I'd be writing "went to school. Some reasonable grades. Went to college. Did ok. Got a job. Pretty reasonable at it. Not the best, not the worst. Made some friends along the way. Made some good decisions and some bad decisions" etc BE THE GREY MAN!
Fit blonde has the classic "I'm a feminist you know" about her. She'd be a boring shag. Coming soon to a cat rehoming centre in her late 30s as she'll be a "strong independent, childless, woman"
Former Gangsta will be ok until his temper lets him down. They'll deliberately push his buttons. Which is a shame since he has a deliberate "pause" when answering which is obviously a coping mechanism for his anger. It might even set him back in the real world if they break it!

Not sure you'd make the first sift with that application!

He'd have to clip the bait at the bottom like...'I've got a great big secret/I'm an exhibitionist nutter/I have emotional turmoil that will come spilling out after two interviews'I've got a real fondness for tattooed men with beards
