HOLYWELL AIR CADETS

HOLYWELL AIR CADETS TO TREETOPS ADVENTURE HIGH ROPES

COURSE IN SNOWDONIA

 

The Royal British Legion, Ysceifiog Nannerch and District Branch, with 2480  Squadron (Holywell) Air Training Corps took 18 Cadets down to the Adventurers course between Llanwrst and Betws-y-Coed on Wednesday, where they, together with Carol Cathery, the Legion's Branch Welfare Chairman, responsible for liaison with the Cadet unit, and Flt. Lieut. Sue Davies, the Squadron's C.O. also enjoyed (perhaps rather less that the young cadets!) the thrill of climbing through the trees, along ropes, balancing beams, zip wires and rope bridges and through obstacles. Equipped with a full body harness and helmet, and attached to a revolutionary safety system, some of the fearless moved rapidly ahead, but it still looked a long way down to earth for most participants.

With this affiliation of the 2 organisations, the ongoing relationship between the Armed Forces, and the Cadets helps to bring Youth and young life the Legion, The No.1 provider of welfare, comradeship, representation and Remembrance for the Armed Forces Community with their new strapline "Shoulder to shoulder with all who serve"

This photo shows the group kitted up and ready to go.

This photos show the group after the adventure, clutching their certificates, with the RBL's Poppies, for at this Poppy Appeal time the Cadets help the branch with collecting donations for the Serving and ex Services community, including the recently wounded from Afghanistan.
