Adventure Training has also been a constant theme throughout the year, most recently 69 Sqn taking part in EX Uralo Yatra a skiing Expedition in Austria.
On the charity front their have been too many to talk about in this article, but the main event that took place was the Everest Rowing Challenge. This was a charity event between Kent Police and 36 Engr Regiment, which as the name suggests, involved rowing the distance of Mount Everest.
Unfortunately Kent Police won the event, but it went right to the wire and 36 Engr Regt will be looking to exact revenge in a return match next year!
The unit recently held the Unit Health Fair, organised by the Gym Staff. Over 400 people attended the event which gave
