Welcome to the Enfield CKD August Newsletter:
|
We had a good testing in July with all students performing to a high standard.🎉😁👏
|
Most students should have been shown their new syllabus. If you haven’t then please check the syllabus on the CKD Portal on this link.
|
The next testing will take place on Sunday 25th September 2022.
|
Remember the classes will still be running so please use any of the classes in the week to make up those that you have missed and always bring your top even if we’re allowing T-shirts for that class.😎
|
|
Finally be mindful of others and ensure that we keep each other safe by not attending class if you are at all unwell. 🙏🏽

3 Peaks Challenge
The Three Peaks Challenge!
|
Something not to be taken lightly even if you are an experienced climber!
|
So, if you haven’t seen my Facebook post here it is!
|
I managed one third of Ben Nevis, came back down while I was still ok, but I overheated really quickly, over dressed in the beginning. The Team did it in 6 hrs. We arrived at Scafell Pike at night, and in heavy rain so the waterfall and river were flowing. When we got to the top I pulled a muscle in my outer knee, and then we had the added hindrance of 50mph winds at the top which blew us around, coming down was a killer with the knee, the Team did it in 4hrs 15mins, I did it in 4hrs 30mins, decided best to not do Snowdon, but 4 of the less injured did it in 6hrs, there was no chance of doing it in 24hrs with all the travelling, especially in a mini bus, and you’d have to run up and run down, you need to put in significant practice beforehand to be able to do it in 24hrs and have a few quick cars. The total time was 30 hours. With my knee I didn’t even attempt Snowdon. Would I do it again, never as a 24hr challenge!
|
|
But I would do it again, maybe next year!
|
You never fail, you always learn and develop!
|
A big thank you to everyone who has donated, it’s genuinely appreciated.

|
|
|
|
The Playwell site has a number of boots. Below is an example with the CKD logo but either this style or the dipped foam style will be permitted. These are designed to be generally worn without shoes and the fit needs to ensure that the toes are always covered. If wearing shoes then a larger size will be needed plus adjustments will generally need to be made. Please discuss this with an instructor in class if you want to do this.
