Unit Boating Day - August 2008
On Saturday 16 August, five cadets and the Commanding Officer took the Unit's powerboat from its moorings in Bisham to Henley and back.
|
OC Henderson has a break from crewing the boat as it passes through Temple.
|
OC Seymour is a laid back bow as the Viking passes through Hambledon Lock on its way to Henley.
|
The cadets keep each other entertained when not taking charge of the boat.
|
A long day's boating is too much for some of the cadets!
|
Ordinary Cadet Seymour gets a go as coxswain but still looks miserable!
|
The cadets practice their skills in the white water at Hambledon Lock.
|
The boat goes towards the weir with another cadet at the helm.
|
OC Martin coxswains the Viking.
|
The Commanding Officer finally gets an opportunity to take charge of the boat!
|
AC Smith takes charge for the last leg of the journey home.

Petty Officer Hindhaugh directs cadets to take their positions as they prepare to storm the staff accomodation.
|
Two cadets try their hand at indoor climbing. In addition to a number of walls there was also a boulder for those who wanted to try climbing more unusually shaped objects.
|
Cadets, including New Entry Hughes (front left), perform their SODS opera at the end of the week. This year all of the plays were fairytales with a nautical theme.
|
Cadet Rhodes (far right) looks on in shock as one Marine Cadet takes the SODS opera costume a little too far!
