An excited and enthusiastic group  from Kongsberg enjoyed a fantastic and fun-filled day of Team Building at the beautiful Mercure Ardoe House Hotel, which took the shape of Team Challenge Company's very special and hugely popular Crystal Challenge with a host of both Team and Individual Challenges....in the sunshine - Hooray!

After a warm welcome and safety speech the group were divided into 5 teams, all of them ready to battle it out across a wide and far-ranging array of Team Building games and activities in a bid to crown themselves Crystal Challenge Champions and take home the much coveted Team Challenge Company Team Building Winners Trophy. Though the teams got off to a bit of a slow start especially when some individuals struggled to remember which team they were even in - but Dave soon whipped them into shape for the battle ahead, the Crystal Challenge Team Building event was soon well underway, and the competition quickly began to hot up - especially with Ian racing off early doors to play on the Bouncy Castle!

The 5 teams were challenged with completing a number of team and individual Team Building activities within a tight time frame to collect as many crystals as possible. The teams with the most amount of crystals come the end of the day would head into the Crystal Challenge Dome and aim to win it all by collecting those elusive Golden Tickets. The Team Building games included the physically demanding Tube Test, the mentally stimulating Chicken, Fox and Grain Puzzle, the mind-boggling maze of the Labyrinth and the ever-difficult some say " Can I just  Break It " Puzzle Corner.

Some of the most notable performances on the day came at what has become known as the 'Impossible' Towers of Hanoi Team Building Challenge. It seems that impossible is nothing for some of those from Kongsberg, with Team 3 gaining a sensational  crystal awarded for  completion of the Team Building task - the first and only of the day - quite incredible - think it was Catriona who pulled it out of the bag here ! Other notable performances came from Chicken Man Paul ( almost too excited to be fair mate ! ) , Big Ed  the most competitive man on the field, Euan - the brains of the outfit, and Farmer Mc Ginty who's shooting was legendary - for all the wrong reasons and never have we had a farmer fall so often into the drink!!!

And so, as the Team Building day neared an end, it was time to head to the Crystal Challenge Dome. First the bottom place team was awarded the Wooden Spoon by the narrowest of margins to Team 1! The challenge for Top of the League in the Crystal Challenge Dome went down to the wire, and only a few of those Golden Tickets separated the top teams. Team 4 claimed 3^rd place overall with £40, Team 5 just missed out on the trophy despite a valiant (and slightly scary) display in the in the Dome to gain £190. And so, the Team Challenge Company Team Building Winners Trophy went to the most consistent team all day, the mighty and all-conquering Team 3 with a hugely impressive £220- with not a hint of bribery from Catriona!

The whole Crystal Challenge Team Building event had been a great success, and it seemed that everybody had really enjoyed a fabulous day of fun and laughter. A big thank you must go to Catriona, whose hard work and dedication to the organisation of the event both before and on the day ensured that it delighted everyone in attendance. The group from Kongsberg were great fun to work with, and we at Team Challenge Company certainly look forward to seeing you all again in the future.
