The ISS put a challenge out to all of the sections at MPC that would require a lot of mental and physical stamina. The challenge was the Condor Yomp, which was a grueling 75 mile race across East Falkland from Port San Carlos to Stanley, carrying 15-18Kg of kit including a rifle.
Chris Keen caught up with the yompers on day 2 when they were well into the race and all feeling quite tired.
He gave them some sweets to boost the morale and had a chat to a few of them including Cpt Phil Caswell from MTW, Lt Ben Yates from 3 rifles and the organiser Lt Ben Edworthy from the ISS,
He asked Ben why he decided to put the yomp on..
