On Wednesday 19th December the brasher team headed to the hills on a pre-Christmas company-wide outdoor activity day.

We were split into three - very competitive teams!:

Santa's Little Helpers, Rudolph's Reindeers and Frosty's Snowmen.

We started at the Old Repeater Station, Grindon near Haydon Bridge then set off in our groups and walked along the roman wall to Caw Gap, passing Crag Lough and also the place on Hadrian's Wall where Robin Hood was filmed.

We all had a go at abseiling down Peel Crag's before continuing on our walk. At the end of the day we had the chance to test our aim at archery, with only a few stray arrows, but most of them hitting the target!

The teams had a few more tasks to keep busy along the way - ranging from a quiz to boiling an egg which helped to boost our scores.

We collected points for each of our tasks with the winning team being announced at the end of the afternoon.

Frosty's Snowmen were the team that came out on top and took the winning position with the help of a perfectly boiled egg!

All in all it was another fantastic brasher day out!
