Top bosses proved their fitness by taking part in a Territorial Army team-building weekend.

Among the 82 participating in Exercise Stretch 2002 were Robert Rons, 38, sales manager for Caffyns at Brighton, Allan Dillaway, 33, a network support team leader with RiverStone Management, Brighton, and Emma Smith, 31, a senior nurse with South Downs Health Trust.

With only a few hours' sleep at Crowborough Camp, Crowborough, the participants took part in unusual challenges.

Their tasks ranged from orienteering and being winched across a pond in a bosun's chair, to being caught up in a realistic Balkans-style incident and ambush, dealing with an unexploded bomb and erecting a communications mast.
