Highland Wing Athletics

Today saw the Highland Wing Parade & Athletics Competition take place. An early start, leaving Thurso at 6.15 am and meeting up with the Wickers at Latheron to share their bus.

The parade took place at Cameron Barracks, with 136 cadets taking part, and then it was over to Bught Park for the Athletics.

We only had 6 cadets attending (it's bad timing, right in the middle of the school exams) but they managed to take home 6 medals (including 2 golds) which was excellent. Everybody had a great day, even the Warrant Officer, and it was rounded off with Fish & Chips in Inverness before heading North again.

Hello Again!

Well, I've not been very good at keeping this up to date. In fact it's over a year since I posted... shocking!

Anyway, things are about to change. I'm setting up to post from my new phone, which arrives on Wednesday and with an 8Mp camera, means I should be able to upload some cool photos easily. I'll give it a go anyway.

In the meantime... what have I been up to. Well the highlight of the last few months has been Exercise Snow Eagle. A ski course, in Oberstordf, Southern Germany covering alpine skiing, ski touring and winter survivial skills. It was great, I really enjoyed myself and the kids got a huge amount out of the week.


Here's Steve and Charlotte having a break. Look at the amazing hills!
