Unknowndude wrote: » Good realistic advice,I think taking your time and executing the obstacles correctly is definitely the way to go and like you said on that straight run you can make up some time. I haven't done it yet lol but that will be my approach and I will take a stopwatch with me and have a glance at it after 1 lap and that will tell me how I'm doing.

I wouldnt consider myself an athlete and passed with 28 secs to spare, it is tough course but not as daunting as people make out sometimes

Kbe173 wrote: » Yea I passed! Thank goodness, wouldnt want to do it again. I know, Id bought a stopwatch just because I thought it would give me motivation to quicken up etc but its hard to tell how much time has passed. I had to redo an obstacle too! Good luck to all those with theie date soon!!

I know it's probably a long way off for me but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the vetting forms? Do they ask for information regarding aunts and uncles? I have one particular uncle who I'm worried might cause me to fail the vetting. Max respect to all those who have got this far! Thanks

I had the same worry.@Aimforstars Partners parents? is this still the case if you're unmarried? My partner is estranged from his Dad, but I think he's maybe be in bother in the past, I wonder would this affect me?
