If a camp has to be remembered for the problems it causes, then Leek must go down in the annals of time. Although the Monday after Grand Day was bright and sunny, black clouds were soon to appear on the Horizon in the form of OC OCF Lt Col Andrews. With Phil McKenzie badly "wounded " my first proromotion in the field cam through, I received the "wonderful" news that I had to get 120 cadets, kit bags and all, about 200 miles North to Leek, A daunting task by any standards.

By the tine we reached Leek, 3 berets, 2 belts and Andy Crickmores complete suitcase were arriving in various other stations around the country. But alas the 5th form cadets remained intact.

Entertainment in the camp varied from the cinema, T.V. and Members of the Cadet Training Team who entertained us so well in the meal queue.

The contingent achieved expected results by winning both exercise Strongbow under the capable direction, of Geoff Snelson and the assault course led by Mike Lambert.

The usual camp incidents throughout the week, keeping us amused, not least being Mike Jackson who decided to discover the melting point of rubber by warming his boots, and filling the billet with black smoke at the same time.

,Being the largest contingent our presence was "felt" by many of the other occupants of the camp.

But now on a more serious note I would like to say thank-you to all CCF Staff, N.C.O's for all the help and encouragement I received and thanks to Nick Justin, also "promoted" in the field for keeping us amused.
