Expedition Training
Training took place in the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales over Lent Long Leave. Participants got to grips with expediiton life, and enjoyed varying degrees of success in managing their camp-craft nd necessary food intake. Lessons were definitely learnt, and we hope they will be remembered when we head out to South America!
