W Company

Twelve cadets from W Company recently took part in Northumbria ACF's new cadet competition.

The competition, Northumbria Warrior, involved cadets from across the county battling it out during a timed route march, practical navigation, first aid and weapon handling on Otterburn Training Area.

Despite their valiant efforts the W Company team came in 4th place. Particular mention goes to Cdt L. Scott of Amble Detachment, who was the top individual on the shooting phase - a great achievement considering the experienced opposition.

Northumbria Warrior was in preparation for 15 Brigade's annual Colts Canter competition in early October. The W Company team will also be put through their paces at Annual Camp next month.
