Almost 100 cadets from W Company took part in fieldcraft training on the windswept Otterburn training area.
The Company's senior cadets also took part in a night time blank firing ambush, where they intercepted their junior peers during a patrol.
Everyone took part in navigation exercises and honed their skills at living in the field. They also got to sample the British Army's new (for us) Afghanistan ration packs, which are cleverly designed to suit soldiers operating in hotter climates.
Unfortunately, as the cadets will testify, their lack of stoginess mean they're not best suited for the chilly Northumberland moors.
The weekend also signified Bellingham Detachment's first Company training at Otterburn.
