E Company Adventurous Training Day - July 08

The day was a round robin of activities which consisted of Kyacking, Climbing and Mountain Biking. The cadets were split into two sections. One group spent the morning session doing kyacking and the other group did the biking and the climbing.
!	I watched as the cadets climbed in and out of the kyacks and sailed round the water being given excellent guidance by their instuctors. The session ended with a few kyack formations which would have looked fab in any circus act, even the ducks seemed impressed!

After lunch, the group swapped over and went back to St Georges Barracks where they took turns to scale the dizzy heights of the climbing wall. For some, this was a massive achievement as they confided to me that they were actually scared of heights.

They then moved on to the mountain biking where they rode around the Rutland Water area under the supervision of SSI Brackley, who after a whole day of cycling felt like the bike had become a part of her....!

One hundred and ten percent effort was given by all cadets on all activities and a great day was had by all."
