SVS Challenge 2007
The 4th edition of the SVS Challenge was held last Sunday (9th Dec). This was a gruelling full day activity which involved the ventures taking on various demanding challenges in order to win the much coveted 'Challenge Shield'.
Every year the SVS Challenge takes on a different shape, last years activity was themed around survival skills and backwoods activities while this year we went back to the original challeng hike idea --- with a twist!
The hike was carried out on mountain bikes which meant that the distance travelled was much greater than usual. The first challenge was a climb somewhere along the Victoria Lines. Each member of the team had to climb the route in order to complete the challenge. The second was to locate two casualties within a 1km2 area and evacuate them using the appropriate SAR & Medevac technique.
The thrid challenge was also quite a suprise for the competitors; they arrived in mistra bay to find a set of canoes waiting for them. The challenge here was to complete a route to St Pauls Islands and also check out a cave along the coast.
It wasn't all over at Mistra! The teams had to make their way to the last checkpoint - The Selmun Barracks where they completed another route but this time; underground. The Verntures followed a route through the maze-like tunnels that exist under the barracks.
Who will win???
I wonder!
