Our cadets recently returned from an action-packed and highly successful annual camp at Altcar Training Camp.
Throughout the week, the group progressed from mastering essential fieldcraft, camouflage, and tactical paintball drills to executing advanced platoon-level manoeuvres across the Formby sand dunes. Alongside these intensive military exercises, the cadets enjoyed a thrilling day of water sports at the Liverpool Docks—tackling an inflatable assault course, paddleboarding, and kayaking—before taking in the sights of Liverpool city centre during a cultural afternoon.
The camp was also defined by outstanding competitive achievements that brought major trophies back to UTC Warrington:
-
Top Marksman: In marksmanship, LCpl (now Cpl) Louie Cornwell delivered a sensational performance on the live firing range, securing a incredibly tight 75mm grouping at 100 metres to win the Best Shot Trophy out of more than 750 competitors across the Northwest!
-
Military Skills Champions: Building on this success, our team entered the military skills section of the prestigious Altcar Trophy, defeating nine other cadet contingents in challenges like foot drill and mine clearance to bring home the trophy for the Best Military Skills Team.
We are incredibly proud of the resilience, teamwork, and elite skills our cadets demonstrated. What a phenomenal week!
