LOL Ricey legend

I like the one with Manse. Muddy face and hair...but he is (as usual) smiling. White teeth shining like a beacon. Brilliant. :~D

Some quality ones of Ricey at the end there! =D

Seeing Danny in the pics, I didn't know you could still get Action Man gear.

Martin Ling's brown army!

superb pictures. what a great bit of team building (and fitness training of course) before the season starts. i'm smiling with the lads just looking at the pics.

nice to see the gaffer sporting his new Sondico clothing - without a single splash of mud !! Come on Lingy, get in there and join the party !!

Wow!!! These photos are like a dream come true. Torquay players....mud....combats.....you can forget your "Fifty shades of Grey"!!!

Nice one Chris, can always rely on you.

For some reason didn't recognise Yeoman (looks a lot older after that course) and Bodin's hairstyle put me off, although should have realised they were the two squad members I hadn't included in my own guesswork effort!!

No real surprise that the CB hasn't turned up yet - who'd fancy having their first four days of training being caked in mud?

Thought for a minute we had a new player down but then realised it was Nathan Craig covered in a few layers of Deb'nshire dirt!

And good to see Eunan's face among the team.

God! that takes me back a few years to when I was in a green suit. Really builds great team spirit and determination let alone fitness. Had a Warrant Officer boss who was a Royal Marine and we had a load of that kind of training. Train hard, fight easy he used to say. I was the fitest 36 year old Sergeant in the corps after 3 years with him.
Great photos!

All good character buidling stuff, sure this will further build the squad spirit and help integrate the new boys - Good thinking again by Lingy

No prizes for guessing that the winner of the piggy back race was carrying Danny Boy...

Nice to see so many smiles on faces though and an interesting way to go about pre-season preparation.

Agreed - just a shame we haven't got a new centre back in place to join them.

on the OS of the bauys on their endurance test with the Marines today !

I particularly like the one of a very clean and dry Martin Ling looking down as the bedraggled figure of Rene Howe emerges from a tunnel! Brilliant!
