ATTENTION!!
Listen in Lofty! I'm sure most of you know who I am, but for those who haven't seen "Bear McNab- Super Survivalist" on sky channel 9, or read of my heroic exploits in my many, many books, let me introduce myself!
I am Bear McNab, ex SAS hero, super survivalist, body guard to the rich and famous, inventor of the bush tucker trial, winner of "Mars and Minerva" best moustache award (86-92), Ray Mears' fantasy pin up, first man in, last man out, last man standing, all round alpha male, but I'm a modest sort of fella, I don't want to blow my own trumpet too much.
I expect you're wondering what I want with you eh? Well let me enlighten you. I'm looking for some special individuals to undergo my boot camp training regime, in order that they can undertake Bear McNabs MISSION IMPROBABLE, a mission so dangerous the boys back in Hereford turned it down! I'd do it myself of course, but I'm a bit too high profile these days, know what I mean? Thats why I think a nobody like you would be just right for the job!
If you make the grade that is! You have to complete the five lessons that make up boot camp before you can undertake the final mission. I don't expect you all to succeed, in fact I don't expect you all to survive.
I don't care what order you do 'em in so long as you do em all. take your pick.

PHYSICAL FITNESS
Like any Special Operative I pride myself on my physical prowess, there are many, many times I would have bought the farm, but for my superhuman fitness levels.
I'm sure you've all read "Embassy No1" (available in all good bookshops) in which I recount my not insignificant part in the old Embassy siege in '81. As well as being the first man in I completed the mission with me old oppo Smudger on me back, after he broke a nail when the windows went in!
Now it's a bit too much of an ask for normal people like you to complete this mission carrying 200 pounds of kit, 10 weapons and a 6ft 8 steely eyed bringer of death on your back, however I dont think its too much to expect for you to get a few clicks under your belt to prove you have what it takes!
The insertion point given is for vehicle drop off, from there its shanks' pony or a mountain bike my friend. You will be following the "woodpecker way" (blue route) around Salcey Forest for approximately 10 clicks. download map
Along the way hidden in clear view are 10 coach bolts (A-J), each with a number stamped into the head.
No bolts have been placed in living trees, way markers or furniture.
