Practice Silver Expedition Cancelled

Unfortunately Mr Pether and myself have had to take the decision to cancel the expedition to Edale this weekend. This is due to safety concerns caused by the current and forecast weather conditions, which are as follows:

1. Snow fall forecast in Edale for the Mon to Fri
2. High winds resulting in very low wind chill
3. Reduced visibility from fresh snow fall and snow being blown over land
4. Average day time temp of just above 0 and night time temp as low as -7

Our aim is still to offer cadets an opportunity to get their silver D of E this year, so don't worry about not being able to achieve this. However as instructors we want to offer this in the safest possible conditions, which will make it more enjoyable for yourselves.

As such the kit check on Tuesday is also cancelled. A post will be put on the blog to advise uniform when we have arranged an alternative activity.
