the sandhill and three sisters!! what a fkn ballsache that was. i remember having to fireman lift an 18stn jock to the top of that fkr because my l/sgt was a prick...lol good days.
i was in training at pirbright in 82, did six yrs with the 2nd btn grenadiers. anyone remember the 2mile stretch of unused canal? we used to get beasted up and down the sandhill and made to run in the canal till we dropped. and once you did drop, you were kicked round to the sandhill and beasted again....lol memories.
