After a misty start and a little dusting of snow the weather cleared and made way for another glorious day.
Although it has been a physically demanding week the cadets and adults set out with the same enthusiasm and drive as they have demonstrated throughout the exercise.
I spent a little time videoing some of the cadets today for assessment then was able to ski with 3 of the 4 groups and have added plenty of action Ski-by photos.
I have been involved with many ski exercises with hundreds of cadets over the years but have to say that this group of cadets have bonded and there has been a great and friendly team ethos between all from Derby ACF and Repton School CCF. The level of availability of a number of the cadets is beyond my skill set and I was happy to ski in their track as similarly with the beginner and intermediate groups.. some fantastic skiing skill, controlled, disciplined and very capable.
We finished the day with a team photo and then it was back to drop off the hired ski equipment, showers, dinner, coach loading and so begins the drive across Europe!!
15 mins and most are catching flies and zonked out so I imagine it will a quiet one for a few hours.
I'm singing off for an hour or two... a bit of admin to be done and eyelid inspection!! I will keep posting updates as we head towards Calais.
