What a difference 5 days can make!! 24 cadets left on Monday for a 5 day trip to The Outward Bound Trust Ullswater. For a number of them it was the first time away from home, for most of them it was the first time they would experience the many challenging activities they had ahead of them. 24 cadets from 2 different Districts and 5 different Units attended. The majority were from Sea Cadets Wells Next the Sea with cadets from Great Yarmouth Sea Cadets, Felixstowe Sea Cadets, Boston Sea Cadets and Norwich Sea Cadets & Royal Marines Cadets making up the team.
Throughout the week our young people worked together either in 2 teams or as a whole group, making new friends and memories that will last forever. The growth in confidence from day 1 to day 5 was tangible and the way the cadets came together to work as a team was a pleasure to witness. Activities included gorge walking, hill walking, climbing (see previous post) overnight wild camping, high ropes, a 7km canoe trip on Ullswater and much, much more.
As always, the trip would not have been possible without the 3 volunteer staff attending as SCC supervisors - so thank you Jamie P & Len F (WNTS SCC) and Steph L (Boston SCC). Thank you, again to The Ulysses Trust for providing funding towards the cost to help make the trip accessible to all and to Wells Town Council for stepping in at the last minute to assist with unforeseen extra travel costs. And, of course, many thanks to the staff and instructors at Ullswater Outward Bound Centre
