COLDITZ
We won again with the same team as last year
Colditz night exercise, Operation Hotel II took place on Saturday 6th February.
8 Explorer teams entered
The teams had to follow a set of map references to the finish.
At one check point, there were refreshments, and an incident which is a tie break.
To make life harder, the teams have to hide from cars, who are trying to catch them.
At the end, the teams were returned to the base to get a few hours sleep.
In the morning, everyone had breakfast followed by the presentations.
RESULTS
3 teams had maximum points at the finish
This means, they signed all their check points and didn’t get caught.
Separated by the tie break
Winners - Hedgecourt
Second - Hurst Green
Third - Northern Cobra Unit
Our team that didn't win! (Better luck next year)
Congratulations to everyone who took part.
