Briefing three 

Estonia weekend three briefing gave us our teams share of hot weather and bright sunshine.  Plenty of time spent in glorious conditions outdoors, planning for time to be spent in Baltic conditions, outdoors!

The weekend had heavy focus on the more serious side of the planning we have, including risk assessments, travel, and accommodation for the 22 days that we will be away for.  Work also commenced on breaking down the training sessions and events we will be managing and assessing the resources for these.


We took time out to explore Vicky's beautiful home town, beautiful walks around Bradford-on-Avon and nearby Bath, interspersed with trying out a few Estonian treats in preparation for meal times in country.  Our selection included some delicious pickled vegetables and fish in vinegar, as well as a fabulous rhubarb sponge home baked from Vicky.
