Physical Fitness Training

Each day the learners take part in a number of physical activities, the working day starts with a morning squad’ed run with PT stations along the 3 mile route.

Such activities provides a crisp start for the day ahead - showers, breakfast and room inspections  procede the learners’ activity plans, which will include a combination of climbing, high ropes, canoeing, navigation and or general duties which include cooking, cleaning, security, kit storage and distribution.


The Morning Fitness Session

Kane O'Brien - Wednesday, 9 March 2011, 10:39 PM

Whilst at Llanbedr we developed many skills - communication, teamwork and leadership which are key skills that are used in all uniformed services, this is why Llanbedr is a good place to develop skills. It is also good because we get to experience what life is like in a uniformed service. The area surrounding Llanbedr is suitable for navigation training and canoeing I was able to experience both activities as well as high ropes course which helped my teamwork, leadership and communication. I also gained a Bronze award for navigation.

Learner Comment - Elouise Taylor, Danielle Spiers, Sylwia Marzuchowska

Since attending Llanbedr our communication skills have improved greatly because of the activities that we have had practised.

Our confidence and determination has also improved when doing the high ropes course, as some of us were scared of heights but have still put the effort in to get as high has they can.
As a result of the morning runs for our fitness levels have improved.

We have learned how to live with one another and about each other.
