CCF Adventure Training

Posted: 25/03/2015

Last weekend 90 members of the CCF embarked on a hectic round of adventure training and shooting in the Brecon Beacons and Sennybridge Army training area.

Conditions were perfect with the bright sunshine reflecting off the patches of snow higher up the mountains.

The Fifth Form cadets took time off from completing their silver DofE practice to build snowmen on the top of penny fan whilst the Sixth Form cadets walked over terrain very similar to that which they will encounter in the Drakkensberg mountains in South Africa on their gold final expedition in July,

The Sennybridge training area contains one of the best range complexes in the country and we were lucky enough to be allocated space on Sunday for the cadets to shoot 5 different weapon systems including shotgun and light machine guns.

Thank you to all the regular and reserve soldiers army cadet officers made up of Old Bromsgrovians and parents who have been extremely loyal and supported the event to make it such a success.
