Once again the standard of competition was remarkably high.  All the young people rose to the challenges that were presented and gave 100% effort.  We retained the usual format with a navigation exercise on Friday evening when the teams were sent off into the darkness unaccompanied, to make their way to a rendezvous on the far side of the hill.  On Saturday each team of ten had to reach a mountain summit despite the difficulties presented by the weather.  Saturday evening was taken up with a team problem solving exercise, followed by planning for the following day.  This involved choosing, from a long list of problem solving activities, which activities they would attempt in order to score maximum points.  Sunday proved to be a very tiring day with the pressure to complete the problems as quickly as possible in order to move on to the next activity.

Points were awarded for success in the activities, good teamwork, behaviour around the house, sportsmanship and the ability to socialise with the other groups.

There are certificates of achievement for all who took part, but there is also a trophy, to be retained for the year, which will be presented to the winning team.

Thanks to all of the members of staff who gave up their time to bring the students to the Centre and well done to all of the students involved.
