Wednesday evening trainingNow home-based. Restarts 29th April 2020

This terms' training sessions are all activities that you can complete within the home, and many can even be done while sitting down.

Hopefully you will enjoy all the challenges but they will be different each week, so if one activity is not your cup of tea - do not let that stop you looking at the following week’s activity.

Each Wednesday a new training session will be uploaded. Note: With the news that limited orienteering is now allowed, the home-based training term is being shortened.

The training programme is below:

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
