Top Team : day 2

So today was more of the same from yesterday. We continued with the tasks and did some awesome ones. One of which was called sidewinder and just great great fun:
The task was to collect a missile safely from inside a box and get it out of an area. We couldn't go into the surrounding area where the missile was to be transferred out of but we had a long piece of rope and some pine poles. Immediately spotting an A-frame to tighten the rope because of the distance across the area (roughly 70 yards). So the rope gets tied on a tree and tightened by hanging men off the other end under an A-frame to keep the tension - ingenious.
Two hooks slid along the rope and manoevred by guide lines. The missile slid out perfectly to plan. Yipee.
My task to lead was much worse, or at least my performance was. It was intricate and annoying mainly. We hadn't grasped it and I was just frustrated with the performance and myself for making so many stupid leadership errors. grr. I've taught this stuff, why am I doing that! ggrrrrr.
