Anyone taking part in this years PP Barry? We had some training in Kilworth last Saturday for it and we did alright. 22.6 secs was our best time on the falling plates. Any idea of what time won it last year?

Only 2 weeks left to the competition. Who’s in the running for the cup this year? Every year they say that it’s the last year of the comp, but I think this year really may be.
There have been some huge changes to the corp. test, i.e. the mines identifying, there are about 25-30 to be learnt. That’s gona make things tough for every one but the engineers.
Not sure what time won it, but that a good time, good enough to be in the running for the plates.Originally posted by Commando69

Id say the 22nd will win they usually do. Our running isnt great though so that would hold us back. About four or five usually tear off and finish miles ahead of the rest and the last man/woman/person would come in about 26 minutes which is well below a good timeReligion is like a puddle thinking that the hole in the ground that it sits in is so perfect for it that some higher being must have created itComment

3 miles? Then were doing well cos our tenth man crossed the line in 21 mins 20 secs. We had another day on the plates yesterday and our times were atrocious it was taking us 35-40 seconds to knock the plates. We found out later that they were 7.62mm plates and there nearly twice the weight of the 5.56Religion is like a puddle thinking that the hole in the ground that it sits in is so perfect for it that some higher being must have created itComment

Alright everybody. Competition starts tomorrow morning. Been up all night ironing the creases in and out of my DPM's and have to say they look worse than when i started. Not to worry though we should give a good account of ourselves this year ( anything would be better than last year.) And the other teams better watch out in the grenade throw cos we have it won already.
C'mon the 14th!!!!Religion is like a puddle thinking that the hole in the ground that it sits in is so perfect for it that some higher being must have created itComment

Ok it seems ill have to continue this thread by talking to myself. We (14th Bn) came first in the dress and drill competition with a score of 98/100 which was almost unbelievable and apparently is the highest score ever given at a PP Barry. We ran the march in 20mins 5 secs and as far as i know we came second. Winning team had a great time of 19 51, cant remember who it was though.Religion is like a puddle thinking that the hole in the ground that it sits in is so perfect for it that some higher being must have created itComment

Ahem, Recheck the dress and drill result, you might find 99/100 along side the 13Bn. 11Bn have the 19.51. 3Cav are leading the plates. (All Army champs and all, would you expect anything less)
i have to admitt Ive seen some really dodgey teams around during the day, and Ive heard stories about two units in particular (I`ll say no more on that), all in al the greatest load of bull Ive seen in a while. The reuns in the plates for the 23 and 15 was bull as well, just cause they though they were different types of plates and the 15bn got 3 runs at it (1st time for them 71 sec, then a plate spun)
Bull****
