Perton, UK. 27th July 2013. A contestant arrives early at the campsite. The Nettle Warrior contest is the summer version of the 8 mile Tough Guy winter event, and although essentially the same course there are notable differences. Nettle Warrior involves two laps of an area called The Killing Fields; a ‘log carry;’ and some rafting as part of ‘The Lake’ obstacle section. These assault course competitions were started by Billy Wilson, a former Grenadier Guards trained soldier in the British Army. Byline: Graham M. Lawrence/Alamy Live News.
