A group of Royal Engineers will take on one of the toughest canoe races in the world this Easter. The Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Race is 125 miles long. It's a non-stop race with many obstacles along the way. Often referred to as the 'Mount Everest of canoe races', Lord Paddy Ashdown tried it during his time as a Royal Marine, saying afterwards: "It was crippling. We took 25 hours to finish the course, and I can only think of one person in history who has spent a worst Easter". For the latest forces sports reports, go to http://forces.net/sport.

Interviewed in this report are Corporal Chris Lay and Sapper Liam Vickers.
