For military personel the Fan Dance represents one of the toughest challenges they will ever have to face. For the SAS its just another slog on the hard road to passing selection. For you as a civilian it will be a unique experience that you may never repeat again. Let our team take you across the Fan Dance and allow you to experience what every trooper has to face on selection. The Fan Dance is a psychological and physical challenge that will test you to the limits and once completed you can say you have passed your own personal selection!

We are now pleased to be working in association with Duncan Clark who as well as instructing for us also runs his own company - North Ridge Adventure. Duncan is in the process of developing new ideas for the running of this event so please watch this space.

The route involves a 15 mile march over the Brecon Beacons taking in the highest peak, Pen–y-Fan, which gives walk it’s name.

We will not be setting strict timings or insisting you carry the correct weight for this but if you want to test your fitness to the standard of the SAS then you must complete the walk in 4 hours and 15 mins complete with 55lb bergan, 35lb belt kit and a piece of scaffolding pipe to simulate a rifle.

If not, you are welcome to walk at your own pace and enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Beacons. However we must stress that even taken at a slow pace, this is still a very tough walk and we would expect a reasonable standard of fitness from any prospective participants and the ability to navigate with a map and compass.

Alternatively if the prospect of doing this seems daunting then we will be able to have a former member of the SAS to personally guide you along the route.
