These were the words written on warning signs throughout the 40km walking circuit at the Kaipara Air Weapons Range.  This year, the course tempo was much higher than in previous years, with New Zealand Defence Force instructors delivering a new and exciting program.  Unlike previous years, the weather remained mostly fine with predictable low morning temperatures. For most of our Year 12 students, the Bushcraft Course still remains the most challenging event on the Services Academies calendar.
