Overview
The walk will take place in the local Ferndown/Wimborne Area. It will be approximately 16km in total and should take most of the day. This is the first walk in a series this year.
The objective is to improve the standard of navigation in the Squadron, also working on aspects of team work and leadership.
Timings
Those taking part in the walk should be at the hut by 0900 on the Sunday morning. We aim to finish between 1600 and 1700 or earlier. Cadets will be able to contact their parents from the hut if necessary. Cadets should have their 3822 and consent form with them.
Equipment
- Civilian clothing suitable for walking (no jeans). CS95/MTP is not to be worn.
- Pair of walking boots/shoes that have been broken in prior to the walk
- Rucksack (no webbing) military day sacks are acceptable
- Jumper or similar warm clothing
- Waterproofs ( DPM are acceptable in this case if no others are available)
- Packed lunch and adequate water for the day 1 – 2 litres
- Emergency rations
- Personal first aid kit
- OS 195 map and compass if you have them
Conduct
Cadets are reminded that although they are in civilian clothing they are still representing the Corps and their behaviour should reflect this during the walk. All cadets taking part should expect to take an active part in the navigation of the group.
