The unit deployed North to Waiterere Forest for a weekend camping and learning navigation skills – compass work and map reading. This combined with First Aid training meant some of the navigation exercises over the weekend were intentionally interrupted with simulated medical emergency situations. Some excellent improvisation saw stretchers made from jackets and branches to evacuate casualties, and despite a rather damp start to Sunday spirits remained high, with lots of smiles all round! All the cadets and staff slept very soundly on Sunday evening back in their own beds!
