What an awesome time we had over at Willowgate Activity Centre on Monday 7th October taking on the Hold Fast challenge! Our Rugby Academy participants and CPAs who took part absolutely smashed it and it was great to see such teamwork on display as well as everyone digging deep when things got tough!

So what is the Hold Fast challenge? Traditionally Hold Fast is a term used by sailors, many of whom had these 8 letters tattooed on their knuckles. Hold Fast, physically and mentally and you will get through the storm.

The Hold Fast team are former Mine Clearance Divers, an elite branch of the Royal Navy and have weathered a fair few storms. The only way to prepare is to train hard and train well, and that is what the Hold Fast team wants to share – a unique outdoor military challenge like no other. 

If, like the Hold Fast team, you love exercising in the great outdoors; or you want to experience something with friends and colleagues, that really challenges you, what are you waiting for? Step forward!

Massive shout out and thank you to Rob and the team for guiding us through it all. The support and organisation was awesome

No fuss. No excuses. We got it done.
