CCF Field Weekend

Posted: 13/05/2015

On Saturday morning 106 Upper Fourth CCF Cadets embarked on a hectic 72 hour field weekend.
 
Saturday and Sunday were spent completing their DofE Bronze Final Expedition in the local countryside. After a mercifully dry night under canvas and a brisk walk back to school it was time to board the buses for Swynnerton Army Training Camp to start the military phase of the exercise.
 
After a quality meal in the cookhouse, the activities began with a drumhead communion service with the School Chaplain and then it was on with the weapon handling training.

A restful night was had by all in the barrack accommodation, followed by a busy day of weapon testing, assault courses, command tasks and live firing.
