Prince of Wales in commando assault course. Prince of Wales taking part in the tree-to-tree walk in the assault course. The Prince of Wales took part in a tough commando assault course, in which he scaled climbing nets and vertical walls, swung across chasms and tackled a 20-foot high tree -to-tree rope walk. Then, after a mile and a half cross country slog, he had to crawl through a half submerged pipe. The course, which the Prince described as "a horrifying expedition", took place at the Royal Marines training centre at Lympstone, Devon. The Prince of Wales will join the commando ship HMS Hermes as a helicopter pilot in March
