The Royal Irish Rangers Annual Camp 2000, England.

RANGERS, commanded by Lt Col G P Bettesworth R IRISH, and reduced by Strategic Defence Review changes from three to two rifle companies (A and B), attended Annual Camp at Otterburn Training Area, Northumberland National Park from 9 - 23 September 2000.

Camp was in two distinct parts; the first week concentrated on training cadres and the second week was Ex RURAL RANGER, a patrol based battalion exercise. The camp period was affected by major electrical storms and the September 2000 fuel crisis.
