Last Saturday (24 NOV 12) we teamed up with 1483 (Brentwood) Squadron to walk the Seven Sisters on the South Downs Way, East Sussex. It was an early start, which allowed for a whole day of navigation training and challenges. Our route covered a very scenic 11km starting in Friston Forest and finishing at Beachy Head.
The training provided was a perfect introduction to the navigation skills needed for the Silver D of E, which we will be completing next year. We were also presented with great weather conditions to test our waterproof clothing. Even though most of the time you pack the waterproof jacket and trousers without needing to use them, that day proved they were an essential piece of kit never to be forgotten!
Below are some pictures of the day that shows how wet it was and some of the training that took place.
