Combined Cadet Force

08 Autumn Term

Reddam House Combined Cadet Force, cunningly camouflaged in civilian clothes, invaded the north of Wales as part of Exercise Adventurous Bugle. What followed was five days of gorge walking, caving, mountain biking, high ropes, raft building and mountain walking.

Adventure Training is a core component for the CCF. It gives students the chance to face individual and team challenges. To climb, jump, scramble, crawl, float and roll towards success. Positive communication and problem solving are fundamental ingredients as is facing adversity and building resilience. Snowdonia was a perfect location to do all of this and our students were lucky to be based at Capel Curig Training Camp – home to the regular military unit's mountain and adventurous training.
