Easter Adventures

Over the Easter holiday a group of cadets travelled to Snowdonia for several days of Adventure Training whilst being accommodated at Capel Curig Training Camp. The group was a mixture of age groups from Year 9 to Year 13, many of whom were trying the activities for the first time.

Under the expert instruction of 40 Cadet Training Team they thoroughly enjoyed kayaking, rock-climbing and walking. All the cadets were presented with medallions in recognition of the fact that they climbed to the top of Snowdon, the highest point in England and Wales. With cloudless skies and a considerable amount of snow on the high ground they enjoyed glorious views of North Wales which were very reminiscent of the Alps.

The instructors were extremely impressed with the way the cadets approached all the activities; their willingness to learn and test their abilities. There will be more opportunities to take part in such activities in the future and there are a wide range of courses open to members of the CCF, many of which lead to nationally recognised qualifications. More information can be found on the notice boards in school.
