After a wet start to the day, it turned into a nice afternoon for Leadership, signals and some air rifle shooting with y9 cadets. Was interesting to reflect how this group haven't been to @farchynys in y7 due to COVID.

@qmgsgeoging First hand experience for @QMGSCCF this week as aspects of training on annual camp were banned because of the extreme wild fire risk!

[Holly Lodge CCF @HollyLodgeCCF]

What was on offer today at Holcombe Moor 2022 for @HollyLodgeCCF and @QMGSCCF? Long Range shoot, Section Attack and a 10k exercise. Finish off the day with everyone's favourite...weapon cleaning!

[QMGS CCF @QMGSCCF]

Temperatures return to normal so we are back to our planned training, trying to still give everyone the #CadetExperience. Exercise, range and expedition today. Followed by beloved weapon cleaning!

@GenBolivar @HollyLodgeCCF @GenBolivar You're missing the swoop/richness of House Martins back out around camp now the temperature has dropped.

[QMGS CCF @QMGSCCF]

Arrived with @HollyLodgeCCF for annual camp. Cadets settled in, unpacked, fed and now starting some evening training. All preped ready for adaptions over next few days in the heat, but it's a relief to be here at last after postponing twice due to covid!

[Holly Lodge CCF @HollyLodgeCCF]

Another day of adapted activities at Holcombe Moor 2022. @HollyLodgeCCF and @QMGSCCF cadets took part in another ,22 range, expedition preparation, harbour drills and 'Gold Standard' model building. Exercise starts tonight!

[QMGS CCF @QMGSCCF]

A low paced day today! Scorching in the sun but not too bad inside or in the shade (it's all relative!)
Breeze has arrived bringing the change of the weather
@HollyLodgeCCF

[QMGS CCF @QMGSCCF]

CO out on some welfare checks of CFAV and cadets (the adults work harder than the cadets 😉)
Free flowing water, juice and sun cream. Nice and cool in the shade of the woodblocks. Roasting on the open range!
Some cadets practicing proper soldier skills 😴😴

Lots of bird song this morning on Ex Dawn Chorus.
Now the cadets are up, fed, and back to training. Thanks to @BSquadronRY for assistance and bringing some fancy kit to look at!

[QMGS CCF @QMGSCCF]

Cadets exploring ration packs for the first time and cooking their meal.
