Adventurous Training Capel Curig 15 - 29 September 1995 uring the last fortnight of Septem— ber, HCMR sent 80 men adventur~ ous training at Capel Curig, in Snowdonia. A permanent staff of 6, led by Cap— tain W H de Gale and SCpl Henny, remained in Capel Curig throughout the period, while two groups of 37 came for 5 days each, taking part in a variety of activities including hill walking, dry skiing, canoeing, sailing, raft building, mountain biking, climbing, abseiling, and sea fishing. Hill walking turned out to be somewhat more adventurous than many had suspected, whether scrambling on all fours up the boulder—strewn summit of Tryfan, or negotiating the knife~edge on the approach to Snowdon. However, this gave Captain H R D Fullerton the oppor» tunity to practise his map—reading in preparation for Sandhurst, and LCpl Glasgow showed a remarkable ability to find the quickest route across some

On the dry ski slope, mild—mannered Tpr Watchorn underwent an amazing transformation into “Switch, The Suicidal Ski—Jump Maniac”: interested only in taking off, he had some truly spectacular crashes into the barriers at the end of the slope, but somehow failed to do himself any serious injury. In this respect he was more fortunate than Cap~ tain T E G Kenyon, who suffered a very severe dislocation of the little finger of his right hand and was carted off in an ambulance. At first it was suspected that he might be unable to hold a sword again, but three weeks later he carried
Tpr Parry and Captain A M K Barlow, both being of the skin—and—bones physique, appeared very susceptible to cold water. The former was persuaded by his rather plumper mates to join them by jumping into a lake halfway down Snowdon, whilst the latter followed Major G C N Lane—Fox down a death slide into the icy waters of a disused quarry. On both occasions the skinny individual appeared to begin hyper—ventilating, to the amuse— ment of his companions. For future years, participants are advised to follow Captain W H de Gale’s example, and
The death slide was the culmination ofa day of abseiling and slate—mine exploration, near the village of Friog. The mine was impressive, consisting of a series of man—made caverns linked by rough passages, and occasional abrupt drops. Attempts to test the depth of such voids by dropping pebbles were not always successful: one appeared not to have a bottom at all.
