Ep 2: "Making the Cut" - Guards Conversion Course

They take blisters, abrasions and pain in their strides as they race against time to complete the 12km fast march in under 108 minutes.

Watch how these trainees push themselves hard to pass this test of endurance which is one of the key tasks they must complete to obtain the coveted Guards tab.

Also in this episode, the trainees are introduced to tower rappelling, a feat not for the faint hearted.

While some breeze through it, others try hard to overcome their fear of heights.
