On Wednesday a group from British Canoeing Head Office came to the Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre to take part in some Team Building activities.
The plan was to build and fire a Trebuchet.
But first they had to find the parts of the Trebuchet, which we had hidden around our 15 Acre site. We provided 3 teams with a GPS each and gave them instructions on how to use them. Next we gave them the GPS co-ordinates to help them find the parts.
There was a lot of fun and a little bit of competition between the teams, but they successfully completed the task.
The next part was to build the Trebuchet.
I gave them a brief history about the Trebuchet where and when it was used in the past (Wikipedia)
The same 3 teams started work to construct their own Siege Engine to attack a Castle made of Milk Crates!
First you make the base and make sure it is pointing towards the Castle Milkcrate.
Then you build the sides.
Then pose for a 'Caption Competition' photo!
Time to attach the throwing arm and the counter balance weights.
Ready!
Fire!
Meet the British Canoeing Team.
