Hi Gritty, first congrats on that achievement. I commented on your training video for this event, unaware you had already done it. In that video, you describe the Fan Dance as 'one of last things done on selection' and, 'a real gut-check'. Actually, the Fan Dance is done at the end of week one of four weeks of DAILY mountain marches, in the FIRST phase of the 6 month long selection program! It is intermediate in regard to all the marches completed in terms of weight, distance and time. But its quite early placement at the end of the first week means in terms of wear and tear on your body, it's more favourable than most of the rest of the marches! I don't think you have sufficient understanding of exactly what UKSF (United Kingdom Special Forces) selection actually involves, and how arduous it is. I've added a note to show when the Fan Dance is done, note the proper context of the whole selection program!; Here's a breakdown of UKSF (22 SAS and SBS selection)... PHASE ONE 1. Aptitude; Navigation & Endurance (commonly referred to as Hills Phase) 4 weeks of DAILY mountain marches navigating by map from point to point against an unspecified time limit. Typical schedule as follows (remember, these marches are EVERY DAY)... Week 1 15-20 km 40lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Fan Dance at the end of week 1 Week 2 18-24 km 45lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 3 20-32 km 50lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 4, Test Week; consists of 5 marches over 7 days march 1, 2 & 3; 30 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc. march 4; 35 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc. THEN, 4 hours rest and start the final march; Long Drag; 65 km 70lbs weight+weapon, water etc. 20-24 hour time limit (weather dependent). --------------- PHASE TWO 2. Jungle warfare, tactics, navigation ALL LIVE FIRE TRAINING. 6 weeks. Those who have passed phase one have to then pass jungle training. Training takes place in Belize or Brunei, deep in jungles. Candidates learn the basics of surviving and patrolling in the harsh conditions. UKSF jungle patrols have to live for weeks behind enemy lines, in 4 man patrols, living on rations. This includes yet more days of marches point to point. Jungle training weeds out those who can't handle the discipline required to keep themselves and their kit in good condition whilst on long range patrols in difficult conditions. Again, there is a mental component being tested, not just a physical. Special Forces teams need men who can work under relentless pressure, in horrendous environments for weeks on end, without a lifeline back to home base. ---------------- PHASE THREE Continuation; Foreign and new weapons skills, CQB training and testing in the world-renowned SAS Killing House where live ammo is used. Advanced infantry and marksmanship skills etc. Escape & Evasion & Tactical Questioning/Resistance to Interrogation The small number of candidates who have made it through endurance and jungle training now enter the final phase of selection. The likelihood of a special operation going wrong behind enemy lines is quite high, given the risks involved. UKSF want soldiers who have the wherewithal and spirit required to escape and evade capture and resist interrogation. For the escape and evasion (E&E) portion of the course, the candidates are given brief instructions on appropriate techniques. This may include talks from former POWs or special forces soldiers who have been in E&E situations in the real world. Next, the candidates are let loose in the countryside, wearing World War 2 vintage coats with instructions to make their way to a series of waypoints without being captured by the hunter force of other soldiers. This portion lasts for 3-5 days after which, captured or not, all candidates report for TQ. Tactical Questioning (TQ) tests the prospective UKSF men's ability to resist interrogation. They are treated roughly by their interrogators, often made to stand in 'stress positions' for hours at a time, while disorientating white noise is blasted at them. When their turn for questioning comes, they must only answer with the so-called 'big 4' (name, rank, serial number and date of birth). All other questions must be answered with 'I'm sorry but I cannot answer that question.' Failure to do so results in failing the course. The questioners will use all sorts of tricks to try and get a reaction from the candidates. They may act friendly and try to get their subjects chatting; or they stand inches away from their subjects and scream unfavourable remarks about the sexual habits of their mothers. Female interrogators may laugh at the size of their subject's manhood. Of course, a real interrogation would be a lot more harsh and the subject would not know that they get to leave alive when it's all over. That said, days of interrogations and enduring the stress positions and white noise break down a man's sense of time and reality. UKSF are looking for men who can withstand such treatment long enough so that the effects of revealing any operational information they might have can be lessoned by HQ. ------------------------------------------------------------ This is 6 months in, successful candidates for the SAS are now badged and report to Hereford, the home of 22 SAS. The SBS candidates still have a further selection/continuation phase to complete before being badged and report Royal Marines Poole, the home of the SBS. Completion of this 6 month selection course is NOT the end. They then start SF training (which never ends) and for the 1st year in particular are on probation; they can be sent back to their original unit at any time.

It's a pity you didn't have more time here to do Snowdon. There's a challenge in North Wales that is freaking insane called the Welsh 3000s in which you bag every peak in Wales over 3000ft in a single day. No I haven't tried it because one of the peaks is Crib Goch... it's a terrifying knife edge that has claimed more than a few brave souls.

The SAS do this AFTER a full week of getting absolutely beasted on numerous long hikes with heavy gear, so they are already in bits BEFORE they do the fan dance. Simply insane...

I'm in the Mountain Rescue Team for that area - our twice yearly fitness test is from the kissing gate at the first little ascent, then straight to the summit of Corn Du (the peak you skirt around to the right before Pen Y Fan) - full rescue kit, all weathers, the muckier the better. Also something to bear in mind, it's only relatively recently that all the paths have been 'paved', before it was just muddy trails in rag condition. Well done and glad you appreciated the area.

I did the Pen Y Fan 3 times in 1964 when I was training as a Parachute Regiment recruit. The 2nd time I went up the cloud closed in & we couldn't see a bleeding thing. Then I "sensed" the edge, got down on my hands & knees & crawled until I reached it. The trot down was easier after that.

we use to run over there before breakfast everymorning from Derring lines barracks, wearing steal helmets and battle order carrying a rifle, those were the days when it was the parachute regiments battle school 1968 , you have no idea.there were no paths in them days either. treat it with respect as many lads have died there.

I did my SAS selection ( Fan Dance ) in February 1977 aged 19 years old in deep snow. I got in within 1 minute of the time. Though considering the weather I achieved it. With an injured knee that 48 years later still plagues me. I only managed 25 days of the 28 days though for a 19 year old I was proud of that achievement. My injury meant I could never go back!

Very well done mate. Great attitude and a solid performance. Tbh I think the rocks (necessarily) used by National Parks to reinforce some of the trails have actually made Fan Dance more difficult due to the footing. And whoever the 60 year old was he’s clearly a legend eh! Well done again, brilliant stuff.

Love seeing so any older lads smashing this. Very inspiring

Definitely a great inspiring video. About to turn 54 and getting ready for a 5k and did a run yesterday in the heat and hills for a small amount and my quads are just singing today...then I see you and a couple of folks over 60 doing the Fan Dance. Talk about "Oof!" Again...great stuff!

Ah my old friend, the Pen y Fan. I love and hate you my friend. Tabbed it 22 years ago. Awesome!

Great work Gritty! Great to see you on the hills that day (I'm fellow participant). What folks shouldn't underestimate is the fact that instead of focusing on the route and event 100% like the rest of us you had to mess about with camera and think about commentary etc!

How did it go?

I did the Fan Dance in 1984 as I was over from 1st Batt on secondment. This was right after Grenada and it was a bollocks buster then. At that time it was to be done with a British Army bergen and SLR. Good times. I had to so that prior to working with the Regiment to learn counter terrorism SAS style. Also you had it right at Jacobs Ladder, head down and push through.

For Gritty to call a bloke “friggin’ nuts” that guy must be mad. Your strength and attitude is ever an inspiration. Outstanding performance, as always! Well done, mate.

The whole thing felt like a dream, signing up and starting to watch you on KZread to running next to you on the day. Was an epic day, so many giving encouragement as we all struggled. Mad thing is looks pretty flat on the camera 😂 4.19 was blown away by that and was happy when you overtook on the final descent and pinch myself and said, that man right there is Gritty soldier all the way from America doing an event where I grew up and live. Best day and thank you. 👍

Great video, and a great time, well done! I completed the Load Bearing Summer Fan Dance in 2021. I remember Jacobs Ladder on the return leg being brutal, where it becomes a case of mind over matter. One foot in front of the other, don't stop, keep going. I had a finish time of just over 5 hours.... not the best time on the event that day, but the week after was my birthday, I turned 62.

Awesome video Gritty.!I’m adding this event to my bucket list. My buddy got married in Castle Coch in ‘99. I was his best man. Good memories fromWales.. the rugby World Cup was on.. Watched Wales play Japan.. the atmosphere in the pubs in Cardiff were incredible..

Always fun to see someone experience the pain of that climb for the first time. Great job making time!

Thanks for this video dude. I've watched it countless times in preparation for my Fan Dance which I completed yesterday in 5hrs11mins. I got to the halfway point around the same time you did, but my pace dropped off rapidly along the return down Old Roman Road and Jacob's Ladder. Once at the top, my focus switched to just getting back uninjured. Keep on tabbin' fella.

Did this several times while serving with 3 Para from 1965-71…. The final time (while serving in C Coy) as part of the selection course for 3 Para’s Patrol Company ((D Coy) in 1966 ..successfully passed and 5 great years with D Coy, ps I don’t remember there being any stone slabs built into the ‘pathway’

Love this guys mind set. Total respect to all of these people. Looks like you had a good day there for the event....horizontal rain is a common in Wales! I have to say, there is a fine line between testing the physical stamina and mental aptitude of the forces personnel and actually doing them a life time of bodily harm. Often the military personnel in the UK are physically destroyed in the training. It's a real issue. There is only so much a body can take before the back goes, the knees etc....

Impressive mate, well done to everyone who took part and did their best!! Not an easy thing to achieve!!

Thanks for taking the extra effort to film it. Great motivation!

Nicely done Sir! That is an awesome accomplishment!

Well done lad but what you gotta remember the fan dance is a starting point for UK SF selection and is used as a test in week 1 - the lads who undertake it are young and have trained for months!! Your knees and back won’t thank you!! 🤣👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Hate the way I look on camera 😂. Cool video bro and a pleasure to meet you. Sadly I didn’t make the finish as you know having to bail out at CP1 with a stress fractured heel that i initially picked up during build up training. Never mind I’ll be back next year… so far it’s 1 - 1 between me and the fan as I completed it in 2022… maybe see you then and you can beat your time from this year.

Now I’ve reversed diabetes, done 7 paras 10 loaded events (10 miles, 35lb 01:50 time to beat) a 40 mile trail ultra and a trail marathon and 2 fan dance events since losing my weight in 2018. Before 2019 I couldn’t run a 3 mile jog 😂. Ken runs a virtual event called Battle for the Golden road which I entered and completed last year, heaviest weight was 100lb lowest 25lb and the longest distance was 18 miles. Got to keep going 💪. While the heel is healing I’m cycling a lot and looking at doing some 100 mile plus mtb rides instead. Until next time 👌

Did it 20 years ago and my lungs are still burning. It almost killed me because I refuse to quit when I want to challenge myself. I made it back in good time.1 broken metatarsal later I still had to drive the 6 and a bit hours home. Good times. Great effort to all of you who tried it. Good to see some old farts like me still doing it. kind of inspired to get my boots back on and get training for a second go at 50 years of age.

With cross county, I think the best thing you can do is pick a challenging distance to start with, run/walk it. The next lot of runs don't feel as bad, you'll be motivated to run for longer. People struggle with the unknown, it's easier to push yourself through the known. So instead of doing lots of little pushes into the unknown with training sessions, just do go all in once and train to get better at that long distance. Once your good at it then you can do another big push into a longer and harder distance if wanted.

Well done to whoever has done it . Whether you are a super athlete , or a very fit person (like myself ) , or a newbie fan dance is no joke because it’s hard to simulate it unless you regularly go out there hike /run in mountains with heavy ruck . Sadly I couldn’t win it because i misjudged the race strategy , being the first time , but was quite happy to finish it in 3.20 mins . Probably the endurance event that I enjoyed the most , given that the weight really requires you to have strong and fit legs

Well done ! Jacob's Ladder was originally rough rock which took up the ridge it is on and which you could not walk around . It resembled a vertical small quarry and parts of it had to be climbed up , no jogging for sure but an easy climb ! I think it was about 1976 when I found guys making a path there and diverting obvious water channels . Basically so many people were going up the Fan causing fast erosion .
