This weekend saw the team in the Cairngorms area for its annual Winter Training weekend, staying at #forcesmanor in Kincraig . The lack of snow meant the training plan was revised, with opportunities for the team to practice a range of individual rope work and team rigging skills. Our drone team also had the opportunity to spend some time working on their skills in a new area, testing the automated flight capabilities of our new drones.
One of the team hit the ‘Big 40’ at the weekend, which was marked with a pizza party and the odd dram. Our thanks to @ooni.uk for the loan of a pizza oven and various accessories which was an enormous help in feeding the team after a day in the hills. Our instructors for the weekend were @bill_strachan and @coldclimbs, who did an excellent job of adapting their plans to create 2 days of valuable training despite the lack of snow. Many thanks to Tony, our host at the Forces Manor, who was unrelenting cheery and helpful throughout our stay, and for sharing his incredible story about how the Manor came into being. Last, but not least, a big shout out to our training officer; Andy T, who pulled this all together and kept everything running smoothly during the weekend. @oonihq
