On Sunday 3rd October the Unit was asked to support the Bucks County Challenge /opening of New Braid wood building /Bear Grylls day. As aways they rose to the challenge by builing and runnng the assault course as well as supporting the shooting, cane pioneering and Oreinteering, as well as a few other supporting roles.

Jez and Tom were also a asked to be the Young Spokes people to greet Bear Grylls when he landed in his Helicopter Bear force one and escort him around the site and visiting as many bases and meeting as many young people as he could in his short visit.

Bear Grylls took time to visit the Assault course the unit had built. Having found someone to hold his cup of tea (April) he had a photo call with Captain awesome and some of the the unit. Bear then chatted and provided some encouragment to some of the young people on rope bridge, before deciding to have a try on it for himself (not being afraid of a little danger as we know). All to quickly his visit was over and with just time for him to sign Jez’s T shirt before he jumped in to his Helicoptor.

Please see the photo page for all the action
