Summary edit

Description
English: A Guardsman is pictured sea kayaking during adventure training with the Army.

Members of Nijmegen Company spent a week at Capel Curig in North Wales on the multi activity course. The soldiers do different activities each day, which include Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Sea Kayaking, Canoeing, Open top Canoeing.

Nijmegen Company, is an independent company which was created when the 2nd Battalion was placed into suspended animation as a result of the 1993 round of defence cuts. Nijmegen Company carries the Colours of the 2nd Battalion and maintains its customs and traditions. The Company is based in Wellington Barracks, London, and it is largely focused on public duties and state ceremonial events.

A soldier passing out of basic training will be posted to Nijmegen Company for six to nine months. In this time, the Guardsman's training is built upon so that he is well prepared to take up his life in the 1st Battalion.
