A unique event
This all-new full day Team Building event provides a unique opportunity for corporate groups to learn and experience some of the techniques vital to the secret world of the UK's Special Forces. The instructors for this extraordinary day know what it's like at the sharp end - all are former SAS soldiers - and now for the first time they reveal some of their extraordinary skills to civilians. Rest assured, essentially the day is about fun and team work - no would-be terrorist will gain any insights!

Here are some of the team building tasks from which to choose:

Task 1 - Close Quarter Battle Course
Most pistol engagements take place at ranges closer than 10 metres, often much closer. To survive you must be quick and very accurate, whilst being certain that the target you are engaging is the enemy and not some innocent bystander. Here you learn precision pistol shooting and quick draw holster work, including the famous 'double tap'.

Here you learn to patrol tactically through tangled undergrowth and trees, searching out the enemy on his home territory. Your only chance is to tune in to the environment, be fully switched on, employ your skills and be ready to use your M16 rifle quickly and efficiently. First the instructors teach the skills, then it's up to you.

Task 5 - Vehicle Anti-Ambush Drills
A VIP's vehicle is immobilised in an ambush. His close protection team, travelling in the back-up vehicle, have to exit their vehicle fast while under fire, then quickly take up defensive positions and put down covering fire. At the earliest opportunity the team transfer the VIP into their vehicle, then effect a fighting withdrawal as the VIP is driven away to safety.

Task 6 - Special Forces Sniper Skills
The sniper is a multifaceted soldier. From providing super-accurate fire cover as back up for an Assault Team, to striking targets at ranges of half mile and more, he must also be an expert at infiltration techniques, camouflage and surviving for long periods alone in a hostile environment. An expert demonstrates vital skills, and then you learn how to put them into practice.

The team carefully moves into position alongside a track known to be used by the enemy. Cut-off groups and explosive devices are placed whilst ensuring no locals using the track compromise the ambush. When an enemy patrol enters the ambush area the trap is sprung.
Team Challenge Finale
By combining some of the key skills taught during the day this exciting finale puts teamwork to the ultimate test! Every team member plays a role, contributing to the final score. Precision, speed and the ability to work as a team will decide the ultimate winners.
The ultimate Team Challenge!
What is the ideal group size?
Any number from 16 - 60 works

What about food?
Definitely not slugs, snails and stewed worms! We welcome you in the morning with coffee, tea, juices and biscuits, when you will meet the team. Lunchtime is normally a cold buffet or packed lunch (but a hot lunch is available if required) and there is tea & coffee at the end of the day.

Where?
We hold these events at our own venue just outside London, or at other suitable locations in the UK

The Instructors
Special Forces are by definition small, select groups of elite soldiers. In this community the SAS is the undisputed leader. This is a unique opportunity, exclusive to Country & Highland, to meet former SAS instructors doing what they do best.

Am I tough enough?
Forget what you see on television, these are team building activities not SAS selection. If you can make it up the stairs at home without stopping to get your breath then you are as fit as you need to be!
