As the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity Field Gun is fast approaching this weekend, the crews are busy training.
Why not challenge yourself and train like a Field Gunner this July, raising vital funds to support the Naval family.
The Challenge
Royal Navy Field Gun has been part of navy life for well over 100 years. It encapsulates the Navy’s spirit of championing physical and mental courage, discipline, leadership and teamwork. The event sees teams of 18 – who have been training for months – race to assemble a field gun and run with it, disassembling, and reassembling as the competition requires.
RUN, ROW, RIDE OR LIFT
Train like a Field Gunner and run, row, or ride 7,488 metres (the number of nautical miles from Portsmouth to Port Elizabeth where the challenge originated) every day for 18 days (the number of people in a Field Gun team).
