On Friday evening, we participated in a start line reconnaissance followed by a reflection service led by Padre Lorraine. She emphasised the determination and resilience the cadets had shown just to reach the start line and provided them with thoughts to ponder during the event when challenges arose.

On Friday afternoon, the Wiltshire ACF camp had the honour of being visited by the Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Roland Walker. He expressed interest in speaking with a Ten Tors team manager, and SI Ian Johnson had the opportunity to engage in a fruitful ten-minute discussion with him about the ACF and Ten Tors.
