Why is this challenge so important for Joel?
Joel narrowly missed the mark in his previous Royal Marines endurance challenge, completing the course in just over 80 minutes, missing the required 73-minute target. Now, he’s back with renewed determination. This time, it’s personal. He’s absolutely set on smashing the vertical assault challenge and earning his coveted commando coin.
In this gripping Royal Marines challenge, Joel heads to Foggintor Quarry in Dartmoor, where commando trainees are mastering essential marine skills, scaling and descending from heights, and crossing water obstacles. It’s a test of both physical and mental endurance. For Joel, the mission is personal, confronting his fear of heights as he climbs and abseils towering 20-metre granite walls, all while carrying a fully loaded backpack.
Can he conquer the Royal Marines mountain leader training? Tune in to Blue Peter on CBBC or stream it on BBC iPlayer to find out!
