Description. Exercise Troll Challenger is an expedition/journeying exercise conducted either on foot, by canoe or mountain bike.

Participants will undertake a further day of planning and acclimatisation training before embarking on a challenging remote self-supported 4 day wilderness expedition.

Each expedition group will consist of 8 Cadets and 2 qualified CFAV leaders. The expedition will conclude with all the participants coming together to complete a White-Water rafting journey. The expedition will transfer back to the UK by road and air, conduct post exercise administration at Halton, Lancaster before dispersal to home locations.
