The England squad was taken to Lympstone in 2017 in a surprise trip.
Gareth Southgate has been in charge of England for approaching a decade - and very early on in his Three Lions reign put his players through a brutal Royal Marines training camp.Since then, Southgate has overseen England reaching the semi-finals and quarter-finals of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups respectively, as well as being runners-up to Italy at Euro 2020.Southgate takes England to Germany this summer for Euro 2024, with the Three Lions among the favourites to win the tournament.
In the first year of his tenure in charge, Southgate took his squad on a boot camp arranged by the Royal Marines in the summer of 2017.The players were surprised by soldiers at St George's Park who told them to give up their mobile phone and were swiftly boarding a bus to Lympstone in Devon. "We woke up at sunrise and did a trek with all the stuff on our backs. Then we did an obstacle course. That was fun, although I think they left out some of the tougher parts. We had to follow the Marines. Whenever they shouted ‘down’ we had to crawl in the mud, though stones and the sheep dip."
