Caithness Army Cadet Force held a fieldcraft exercise weekend at Broubster Forest near Reay as the culmination of the Company's training before annual camp. Activities included living in the field, camouflage, observation, tactical movement and patrolling.

The cadets had an enjoyable, sunny and extremely wet time; but the skills learnt and equipment issued kept them warm and dry most of the time.

This years camp will be at Strensall In Yorkshire from 1st to 14th July.

Anyone interested in joining the Army Cadet Force from the age of 12 should go along to the Army Cadet hall in Thurso on Tuesday nights, and Wick and Castletown on Wednesday nights. All start at 7.00pm.
