The Reddaways Removals took part in the Commando Challenge 2011, and finished 6th out of 75 mix teams (on the 4km Challenge) and 11th out of 134 total teams (on the 4km Challenge).
The Reddaways Removals team ‘Move a Bit Quicker’ got down and dirty at the Commando Challenge last weekend (Saturday 8th October), raising money for Devon Air Ambulance and The ‘C’ group.
The team had to race round a gruelling course at the royal marines’ endurance training centre on Woodbury Common. The course involved taking on various obstacles including wading through a mud pit, scrabbling through pitch black and rocky tunnels, and the renowned ‘Sheep
Dip’ a completely underwater tunnel. ‘Move a bit Quicker’ were placed an amazing 6th out of the 75 mixed teams, which means a brilliant 11th out of the 134 teams that entered the 4km challenge.
Our team has so far raised £569, and the event total currently stands at over £250k!
Reddaways Removals Director and ‘Move a bit quicker’ Team Captain Mike Clinch said “as the eldest team member at 50, I was worried I might hold the group up, but we worked well together and got round with fantastic results!”
