This last weekend the Ilkley Unit of the Marine Training Corps which includes cadets from Ilkley, attended a full weekend of training at their northern training centre near Settle. Training for the 12-15 year olds included working in woods and going through training scenarios which tested knowledge in fieldcraft, signals, and tactical movement. On Tuesday night at Ilkley Grammar School where they are based they had a chance to handle military equipment used in WW2. With the up and coming school break, some are off to Germany and others will do navigation skills on Ilkley moor. If interested in joining then follow the links. Search marine training corps org uk.
