    Hadn't heard of these before.
    "The inaugural Commando Games are to be held later this year near Spean Bridge and Achnacarry, where commandos were trained during World War Two.
    Veterans' charity Commando Spirit said the event would be based on challenges set for Royal Marines, but would be family friendly.
    It described the games' setting in Lochaber as "Commando country".
    The challenges will include an endurance course, featuring mud runs, tunnels and crawls.
    The course will be built to the design of an original commando endurance course used for training Allied troops and resistance fighters during WW2.
    Entries have been sought for the new games."
