The Waltham Walk was started over 30 years ago and is a weekend long challenge expedition for youth organisations and schools.

The teams need to be equipped with food and lightweight camping gear for a two day expedition covering 30 miles through the Essex countryside. The teams will walk between checkpoints where they will undertake various incidents and initiative tests which vary enormously; from crossing rivers with ropes, to obstacle races and first aid incidents.

The Squadron does very well each year in this competition. This year the cadets came 5th, winning a trophy for the highest scoring team outside the Boys Brigade organisation.
