So... whilst I was out Nordic Ski-ing over at Laggan area, I passed an old village hall which RAF Mountain Rescue from Kinloss and Leuchars used to frequent on their training weekends & rescue deployments. Which, made me think! how many Adventure Training centres has the Military actually lost..?

1. JSATI Llanwrst - Open.
2. JSMTC Tulloch - Closed to normal AT courses but open for use through Army Edinburgh.
3. JSMTC Ballachulish - Open.
4. JSMTC Kingussie - Closed.
5. JSMTC Dundonnel - Closed.
6. JSMTC Fort George - Closed.
7. RAF FDC Grantown - Open.
8. Norwegian Lodge - Closed.
10. Para Hut (Glencoe) - Closed.
11. LLRP school Weingarten - Closed.
12. M&AW Cadre Training facility, Kinlochleven - Closed.
13. M&AW Cadre St Just - Closed. (But will stand corrected on that one)
14. Silberhutte - Closed.
15. BOBC Norway - Closed.
16. Blaen Pennant - Closed.

Joint services parachute centre netheravon...did my free fall course there back in the early 80s wearing the old orange jump suits jumping out of the islander planes...3 static line....3 dummy pulls static line then 9 free fall ....happy memories
 
Capel Curig was open a couple of years back. Also, whilst not quite Adventure Training, there's Indefatigable on Anglesey which is an excellent climbing centre. Halton camp is also used as a base for training in the Lake District and they have some of their own instructors.

Yes mate, I think you are thinking of Nethybridge just outside of Aviemore. Still there buddy but it's a little like Capel or Tulloch(EX JSMTC Station) for RAF Personnel administered from Lossie... The military also owned the Norwegian Lodge at Glenmore, The RA had a small hut there also and Rothiemurchas remains as it is...
