    It's time for the last challenge of the series, and we're going out with a bang. This week, we're asking you to cover a distance of either 30, 20 or 10 miles, depending on your level of fitness.


    Now, don't worry if you're not a fitness junkie, because you can tackle this challenge in one go or break it up into smaller, more manageable activities throughout the week. Want to score even more points? Then aim to smash the challenge with fewer activities!


    If you're already crushing your distance target and craving more, why not keep on truckin' and aim for the next milestone? Rack up those miles and go for gold!


    Feeling courageous? Then you can earn even more bonus points by taking on the challenge while carrying a voluntary weighted load of either 0kg (no load), 5kg, 10kg, 15kg or 20kg.


    Are you ready? Let's go!


    For reference, prospective commando recruits complete this 30 mile march across Dartmoor in less than eight hours, carrying 40lbs (18kg) of equipment and a 11lb (5kg) rifle.
