On a bleary spring day 13 cadets departed the squadron headquarters heading for RAF Halton to compete in the Wing cross country competition.

The conversation on the way mainly consisted on of how far running three miles was.  I don’t really think anyone knew after some bright spark in the back converted it to 1.8kms. I did not want to dishearten them by correcting them, they would certainly know how far it was when they ran the race. A good day and  a lot of effort was put in by the participants. I was on First Aid cover and was pleased with the minimal amount of casualties I had.

At the end of the day at Final parade the Junior Girls trophy was won and the overall girls trophy. Well done to everyone who attended. Though I think the girls have thrown down the gauntlet for the boys at wing athletics! Now that is a challenge for you all!!
