Sunday Funday on our BGSA Family Adventures.⁠
⁠

Tarp/Tarpaulin, or Basha, shelters are great pieces of kit to have as they are easy to put up and can be used to create a low-level shelter when in a hurry. ⁠
⁠
They offer a simple and effective shelter against rain, sun and wind. And can prove to be literally life-saving at times.⁠
⁠

Fancy a dip in the chilly waters of Dartmoor? 🥶⁠
⁠

Nothing says Team Building like squeezing into a tiny shelter 😆

Join us on our Corporate Team Building Events and put your team to the test 🤝

All the moisture in clouds eventually falls as liquid rain, icy hail or snow.

Water circles between air, land and oceans. We call this the Water Cycle ☁️⛰️🌧️🌊

The Commando Crawl ⁠
⁠
Lie on top of the rope with one foot hooked on the rope and bent at the knee. Your other leg hangs straight to maintain balance. Move forward by pulling with his hands and arms, and pushing with the leg that is hooked on the rope. ⁠

Our Young Survivors working together on their 'River Crossing' activity in the Brecon Brecons.⁠

Summer time brings the opportunity for refreshing swims. Especially in the cold water of the Brecon Beacons! 🥶😄

Weather fronts are zones where warm and cold air meet. The front is named after the temperature of the advancing air.

1. Cold Front - An advancing mass of cold air burrows below warm air, which quickly rises.
2. Warm Front - A warm air mass slides over denser, colder air.
3. Occluded Front - When a cold front overtakes a warm front, it produces an occluded front. The cold air lifts the warm air off the ground, producing clouds and rain.

The Highlands of Scotland are calling once again 📢

Today the team embark on a 2 week excursion to the Highlands, taking 2 groups through their paces and teaching them about survival skills.

So long boys 👋

That Friday feeling!!!! 🤩🤸⁠
⁠
How are you getting your weekend started?⁠
⁠

Simple method in how to estimate the remaining daylight and get a rough idea of how many hours/minutes are left before sunset. ⁠

Each finger represents 15minutes. ⁠

Surviving the Highlands ⛰️⁠

Situation, get up and go! ⁠🔥
⁠

We all love a comfortable, relaxed Sunday. Especially if it's done in this style! 😆

What's your ideal Sunday Funday?

Do you have an effective method for packing your rucksack? ⁠
⁠
There are some packing techniques to it, but as @beargrylls would say 'Pack the right attitude and you won't need much else'. ⁠
⁠

Courage doesn't always mean achieving the objective or goal, it's having the guts to try 💪⁠
⁠

Surviving the wet and rainy forests 💧🌲⁠
⁠
We don't mind, as long as we're outside.⁠
⁠

Clouds are floating masses of moisture - either tiny water droplets or ice crystals ☁️

Different types of clouds suggest that fine weather, storms or rain are on their way, so recognising different clouds is an important survival skill to have 🌦️🌧️⛈️

Kind of like playing darts but not. How good are your axe throwing skills? ⁠

In a survival situation, a few simple items can mean the difference between life and death.⁠
⁠
Pack a survival kit according to your needs, and keep it with you whenever you are in the wilderness.⁠

As we know, our planet has 4 seasons - Summer, Winter, Autumn & Spring.

But what causes seasons?

Earth tilts at a 23.5 degree angle on its' axis. The tilt always points the same way in space, so when one half of the Earth leans towards the sun it experiences Summer, and the other half Winter. Six months later the seasons are reversed 🌍

Sending it over the edge

Jump into the week with positivity and excitement. ⁠

Learning to communicate well and work together to achieve a common goal can be the difference in success or failure, life or death. ⁠
Whether in the office or in the wild, teamwork is required in many different forms. ⁠
⁠
Have a go on our BGSA Team Building Events 🤝⁠

Knowing the difference between which plants are safe to eat or not can play a vital role in life and sickness, or even death. ⁠
⁠
This time-consuming but super handy step by step process is a great way to test whether plants you are unsure about are safe to eat. ⁠
