The team at KPMG were glad to find out that they were spending their day outside in the crisp winter weather with Team Challenge Company at the MacDonald Cardrona Hotel in Peebles. After countless presentations and speeches they were excited to get into the action and all came prepared with their wooly hats, winter jackets and of course a trusty pair of wellies!
First off everyone was split into their teams and were put in some dashing coloured bibs, just in case we lost them over the course of the day. All of our teams were given the opportunity to try out a variety of fun and exciting activities such as Archery, Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting and Blind in Tent! To keep the day flowing there were plenty of tasks in their individual booklets, however perhaps the best activity of the day which was to get a few photos with some particularly funny necessities!
To round off a fantastic day, there was our Mini Highland Games giving the opportunity to try haggis roll, weekly toss and everyone's favourite, the caber toss! Only then were they finally allowed to retreat inside for some well needed warmth to the last activity, Bridge Build. There was plenty of well planned ideas which led to some valuable points being gained! In the end the points came in useful for our winning team who snuck in and stole the trophy! Well done Team 1! The day could not have been as big of a success without the fantastic organisation put in from Stuart and Scott! We sincerely hoped everyone enjoyed their day and we look forward to next year!

A very unique day of team building for everyone. My activity - Blind in tent, was a fantastic way to beat the cold, everyone scrambling in to the 2 man tent (built successfully or not) haha. A great Bridge Build finale as well. Some very unusual but practical designs! An excellent day in the Scottish Borders.
