Adventure Academy

Spring is here! Some of the students even have a spring in their riding…

And all back in. A truly brilliant day.

It’s glorious up here! Cold, but glorious.

And the impatient ones…

First big hill of the day. The patient students…

Morning everyone! Gorgeous conditions for a day on the Brecons!

No amount of rain could stop the mountain bikers on Thursday evening. After so many storms over the last few months which stopped night riding they WERE going for a ride!

Made it to Wales! Feeding the students before settling in ready for tomorrow.

Just arrived at the Footsteps of Adventure campsite for our cadet bushcraft weekend — boots muddy, spirits high, and ready for whatever the wild throws at us! 🌲🔥💪 #CadetLife #Bushcraft #AdventureAwaits

Back out on the bikes. Darker evenings mean nothing to brave riders with the right kit!

First team at my check point today for Silver practice expedition. @TorquayAcademy @OutdooredTA

Farewell to Cadet Flt Sgt Crushcov — thank you for your outstanding service and leadership. A fantastic effort from all our cadets as always! 👏 #CCF #TorquayAcademy #CadetLife

Grit and determination gets you back up the hill for another run.

Out on the bikes. Dusty trails and happy smiles.
