Cadets from 1360 (Stapleford and Sandiacre) Squadron joined other cadets and regular Air Force personnel to take part in the Royal Air Force Walking and Road Marching Association’s Winter Walk.Seventeen cadets led by CWO Ashley Rudd, marched the thirty kilometre course through Lincolnshire. The march, an annual event, caused a few blistered feet, but all the cadets completed the course in a highly respectable six hours.
Ashley has also completed the Nijmegen March and a 100 km march in Belgium this year.
“Really satisfying” Cadet Beki Hogg (14), said: “It was hard work but really satisfying. I will certainly be doing it again”.
To attain the required level of fitness the CWO took the cadets on several practice walks around the Stapleford and Sandiacre area.
To mark their achievement the cadets are awarded a commemorative medal and a certificate that were presented to the cadets by the Officer Commanding 1360 Squadron, Flt Lt Allan Munns.
