Our Peru 2027 contingent has just completed another fantastic training weekend at Lapwing Lodge.

Alongside getting to know each other better, building friendships and developing the teamwork we’ll need in Peru, we managed to get an incredible amount of work done.

Over the weekend, our young people and leaders completed the wood store, painted the outside of the Activity Hall, removed the remains of the old assault course and created a new walkway to the High Ropes course around the back of the hostel.

There was plenty of hard work, plenty of mud and plenty of laughter along the way! The bad weather couldn’t dampen the spirits.

These weekends are about much more than preparing kit and learning skills. They’re about becoming a team, working alongside one another, tackling challenges together and discovering what we can achieve when everyone plays their part.

A huge thank you to Lapwing Lodge for hosting us and keeping us busy!

Peru 2027 is getting closer and this weekend gave us another little taste of the adventure, teamwork and service that lies ahead.
