Another incredible week of adventurous training for soldiers and officers of in North Wales, whilst on Exercise IMP ADVENTURE 🛶🚵🏽‍♀️🧗🏽‍♀️

Taking time away from the delivery and maintenance of airfield infrastructure to develop team cohesion, as well as physical and mental robustness.

Without doubt, the highlight of the week was crossing Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, at 38m in height, 307m long, (and only 3.5m wide), it is the longest and highest historic aqueduct in the world!…Engineering geekery at its finest! 🤓
