Evening exercise at Giants Seat Scout and Community Campsite, Outwood, Radcliffe
This damp and initially drizzly evening, saw our routine Wednesday evening exercise take place at Giants Seat Scout and Community Campsite, Outwood, Radcliffe.
Consisting of some 50 acres of mature woodland, steep slopes and open pasture, this location gave us some fantastic settings for this evenings multiple scenarios.
A site visit to plan the evening took place on Sunday 22nd February, and we are very grateful to Ann Chapman, Campsite Manager, who was so helpful on Sunday and did much to enable the success of this evening.
Upon arrival, team members were grouped in to four person parties, and then commencing at 19.50hrs, sent out to a number of skill stations, all under the direction of our Deputy Team Leader Chris Greenhalgh, ably assisted by Chris Tennant (Radio ‘DJ’ C10 transmitting on 853 for the evening !) operating out of our Incident Control Vehicle.
Each skill station had a tasking to undertake upon arrival, and was overseen in most cases not by an experienced team member but by our brand new Trainee Team members.
The twist was there was no instruction as such, just a task to do if ‘you’ had the knowledge to do it!
Tasks / skills included;
All in a very successful evening which finished at around 22.15hrs.
Twenty eight Call Out list and six Trainee Team members attended this evening.
At the exercise conclusion, a small group of team members then visited the Horseshoe Public House on Fold Road, Radcliffe, for a post exercise social drink – incidentally this as our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE recalled, was the venue for our Team Council / Committee meetings in the mid 1980s!
