Blimey what a change in the weather, its now 10C here in Dyffryn, almost spring like, and it was raining quite heavily this morning, but now the sun is shinning.
Ive just received an email from my friends son, who is in Sandhurst, undertaking his officer training.
Last Tuesday, three groups of officers in training were taken to the Brecon Beacons to undertake their 70K march, and it was the first time in the history of Sandhurst training, that the training course had to be called off.
They only managed roughly 30k of the march, before the conditions were deemed too severe, and the whole exercise was called off, for that to happen, conditions must have been pretty wild.
I am quite surprised they even considered venturing out in such hostile weather, but apart from the extreme cold, he said the sun was out, and conditions could have been far worse, but everyone managed roughly 18miles of the training march.
Oh i wish i was young was again.
