Absolute Dental team takes on The Commando Challenge

Achy muscles but it was for a good cause!

On the 5th October the Absolute Dental Team where all out of bed nice and early and heading towards the Commando Challenge, all with old clothes on and bin liners to bring them home again!

We were transported to the start in 6 ton trucks and then we were off! 4 kilometres of narrow tracks through gorse bushes and woodlands and tackling pitch black tunnels on our hands and knees, some half full of water!  We squelched through the ‘black bog’ and waded through waist height water, until we reached the sheep dip…..we were man-handled by Marines we had to count to 3 then we were plunged under the murky water and shoved through a concrete tunnel, holding your breath for what felt like minutes, until a pair of hands grabbed you and pulled you up, to take a big gasp of air, phew relief until some-how we stumbled into a Marine who was intent on making us jog all the way back, shouting some stern words along the way.  But boy was it for a good cause!
