About trip
The Fan Dance is a gruelling 24km SAS Selection test march staged over Pen y Fan, the highest mountain in the Brecon Beacons. The infamous march is the world’s oldest Special Forces test and is used as the first major indicator of whether a candidate has the physical and mental aptitude to complete the legendary Selection course.
Staged across the spectacular scenery of the Brecon Beacons for over sixty years of SAS Selection, the Fan Dance remains a formidable challenge that demands an unwavering respect for tradition and authenticity from us as an organisation and all who take part
