Over a recent Bank Holiday weekend, Pendle Squadron took twelve cadets on a Lake District Adventure Training Camp. The aim was to build upon the aims of the ATC, such as fostering a spirit of adventure and developing teamwork.

The programme consisted of the following activities:

• Orienteering in Grizedale Forest
• Bungee Trampolining
• Climbing wall belay instruction and climbing practice
• Rheged Mountaineering Exhibition and 'Everest' IMAX film
• Kayaking on Lake Windermere
• Canoeing on Derwent Water
• Ghyll Scrambling
• Go Ape High Wire challenge

All cadets took part in the activities including the Ghyll Scrambling - sliding down a freezing cold river and jumping into deep rock pools and Go Ape - a high-wire forest adventure of ropes, bridges, Tarzan swings and zip slides 60 feet above the forest floor.

New skills were learned, fears overcome and friendships bonded. Overall, a successful four days! Thanks to all staff and cadets who made this possible.  Make sure your name is down for our next adventure in October
