MARCH CADETS BUILD BRIDGES

Cadets from 1220 (March) Squadron went building bridges at the weekend – literally!

Twelve cadets and two staff travelled to RAF Henlow on Saturday to participate in Bridge Building activities.  Following a safety brief on arrival the cadets set about constructing a rope bridge which they would all attempt to cross.

The cadets used pine poles, ropes, sturdy anchors and some knotty knowledge to erect a bridge above the shark infested custard.  Once built and confirmed safe it was then time to try and get across the bridge, most of the cadets were successful but one or two found themselves staring up at the sky from the grass underneath! 

Each of the cadets were able to build their confidence while enjoying themselves and had a great sense of achievement when they were able to successfully cross the bridge that they had built themselves.
