11 Aug 07 - Hag Dyke 2007
Cdt Stelling has returned from a Survival and Leadership course at Hag Dyke. The course included useful training for current and potential NCOs as well as the basics of survival.
Many elements of the course are adapted from the RAF survival course and teaches the cadets how to surive in harsh environments with little supplies.
The cadets were taught how to improvise a teepee style tent using a parachute, also known as a parateepee. They were taught how to light fires with and without using flints and how to live off the land.
Basic first aid was taught and cadets completed a Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition as part of the course, getting Cdt Stelling one step closer to completing his Silver Award.
