Don't Break on the Heartbreak Hill | Pirbright | British Army

59 Aston battery

No way they speak that nicely things have changed back in 98 they used to absolutely rip in someone died on that hill its call heartbreak hill for a reason

Fast up, slow down and steady on the level 🤘

1971-1972 , Welsh Guards Pti ( Bunny Hop Jones ) Now there was one twisted man

Might sound silly , but how do they make it what he's shouting ? I find it hard to figure out what he saying. I'm wanting to join, however , I wonder how I'll listen to instructions , when he's shouting , does anyone else struggle to hear what hes saying ? It's when he shouts a command

I ran heartbreak more times than i care to remember, it was one of my cross country and marathon training hills SI CAREY APTC 1970 TO 1986

Wow this takes me back to my time in pirbright in 99 the heartbreak hill route was a killer as it's not just 1 hill there was around 4 or 5 different hills on the route heartbreak being the killer 1 but dam it got your fitness level up I recall 1 of the hills we used had a recruit die on it it was a bad one it was basically a massive sand berm but it was closed due to the death I then went to deepcut for trade training where recruits were commuting suicide supposedly the staff were bullying recruits I was on the gaurd shift that a female shot herself in the head it was all over the news brings back memories

Heartbreak Hill - I remember it well 1973 - 1992

We had a nightmare one in Osnabruck it had a false crest, normally did it after the 3 sisters trail.

I gave them a choice 😂😂 u never get a choice in the army.

My memory of Pirbright was the dreaded Sandhill

I remember as a recruit when Pirbright use to be the Guards Depot running up and down Heart Brake hill (which was Sand then) carrying logs mind you it still looks like a bitch going up and down now.

Loved my training at Pirbright. Good times.

Is that the old CFT

Inspiring Staff/Leader, showed with his troops performance. Good to see again

Btw the DS have pillows in their Bergens 😂 Wankers!
I'll never forget that bloody Hill 😓

Oh😢 pets you should have joined RM Commandos it’s only 8 months basic training eg 9 mile speed march and a 30 mile stroll across Dartmoor

Good video, I remember doing this back in 2013 with Cook Troop.

A lot of lads got Injuries and I've heard of lads even dying on the sandhill in the heat of Summer.

These instructors and pti, s are good lads, all ours wanted to do in 1986 was beast us to see how many they could lose, times have changed for the best in that respect.

my god ................. a very long long long long way from "Shorncliffe" !

Is this part of an actual full.length documentary on TV? If so what's the documentary called and what channel is it.on?

Thanks and have a boss day!!

Very different experience from my time there in 89 when it was the Guards Depot!! (I was in Waterloo 6 Coy) .. ‘Beasting’ is evidently a thing of the past .. which is a good thing. I remember the Sand Hill too… some instructors were sadistic pricks..

Copral hyssley was a section commander at catterick earlier this year, top bloke

Went through pirbright 2012, good times!.

I'd be at the back hanging out 😂

Pride. you will not know unless you have been in the military

My biggest regret was not joining the regular Army from school and making a career of it, all because I thought I was too good for the Army. Falklands war and Afghanistan has shown them to be consummate professionals, a credit to our country and something to be genuinely proud of.
I'm both humbled and embarrassed by my snobbery.

Never did Pirbright, Lichfield then Catterick 👊

The asian guy had his finger on the trigger the entire speech at the start...

I dragged another chap up who was struggling.....not as hard as its made out, but I was ex infantry regs..attending with RLC reserves.

Is the sandhill still there??

The amount of recruits standing around with fingers on triggers is pretty shocking.

Such a great video this, well made

Haha you want to impress do a seven sisters feature

All jobs you do this or jusr infantry ?

I know this hill untimely, and it’s really lives up to its name. I wouldn’t want to be there now.

Concrete was bad, Heartbreak is worse! Good times!

My quads & lungs are on fire just watching this.
Brings back some awful memories.

I was at the guards depot in 1991. The figure of 8 run was a killer 👍

Water breaks ffs.

Does enough money go into developing lighter but stronger equipment ? and how does this training compare to the Russian Federation or the Chinese?

Heartbreak Hill.....more like a slope. I've been there 2005/06

Staff ali !! He's an amazing pti , I rememeber him during my phase 1 at atc pirbright , he was very encouraging, waters troop forever

Not fair, in 09 we was up and down there 4 times after that tab

Ok HM

Wonder if they started using sand hill again.. up heartbreaker down concrete. Love it.
