I came here as an RAF cadet for a week. I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. So fun

Brilliant camp and facilities.
What I found amazing was the indoor AI shooting range. Amazing expirience!
Aswell as an actual shooting range.
Wasn't a massive fan of the shower facilities being separate from the sleeping accommodation. Can be a bit of a cold yet refreshing run.
Smaller than most so it's not a huge walk to most places, but there's still plenty to explore.
