This is information regarding the article published below in the Sun about Bob Spour and SAS Survival

Many of you will know that I was asked by SAS Survival (website unavailable) to run HILL and ENDURANCE courses (those that teach map reading, mountain skills and promote physical resolve, fitness and mental strength) and that I had done so on a number of occasions. Recently I have redesigned these courses in order to make them more accessible to a wider audience of people and they will continue to be available from North Ridge Adventure.

Recently I was caught up in the investigation by ARRSE (ARmy Rumour SErvice) which led to this story http://www.arrse.co.uk/Forums/viewtopic/t=48629/postdays=0/postorder=asc/start=11320.html and as you would expect,  was quickly validated by those who needed to know. Enough said - it’s old news and boring…

North Ridge Adventure trades on our reputation for excellence, and our ability to deliver quality, exciting and motivating courses to a wide range of folks.

What you get with North Ridge Adventure is 100% accurate, authentic and within our areas of knowledge.

**Accordingly, we will be delivering the ‘Fan Dance’ and ‘Ultimate Endurance’ courses as planned**

UPDATE SPRING 2010 - this event is now being run under the title ‘BEACONS BIMBLE’ - see website or www.runnersworld.co.uk for details. Entry cost is only £70 and half price for serving military who want to give it a go.

Now, before you read the article, and make your own judgements, I have to say - and no doubt I’ll be criticised for saying this : Bob Spour has been a charismatic, inspiring and prolific teacher in the realms of human confidence and ambition and furthermore he has helped many people on their personal journeys. I know for a fact that he provided training free of charge to students who couldn’t afford it. The truth of the matter - you decide…
