Assault course An assault course ( also called trim trail ) is a special sort of trail that combines running and exercising . It was more popular in the 1970s than it is now . It is heavily used in military training . The prime use is to evaluate progress and weaknesses within the team involved . Military training . Assault courses are used in military training to increase fitness , to demonstrate techniques that can be used for crossing very rough terrain , and to increase teamwork and self - confidence . Often military assault courses will be standardised , and will have , for example ( in the UK ) , a six foot and a ten foot wall , a climbing net , some type of bar to climb over , and a high rope or net that must be crossed ( these being or representing the most likely difficult terrain that a soldier will come across ) . The standardisation means that every course will be to the same quality , though it also means that there will be certain parts that may be familiar if practised . However , they have different purposes . For example , they can be short ( less than a minute ) with a range on the end ( e . g . Junior Leaders , Folkestone ) , or long ( five minutes ) as at Thetford . This is partially because of space restraints and training objectives . The short one can be run as an individual course and a warmup for the range . The long Thetford course is more of an exercise in endurance and teamwork . Trim trail . The term " trim trail " has more recently been applied to a series of wooden exercise stations , scattered in parkland or other locations beside a jogging or walking trail , which can be used to develop balance , strength and coordination . They are suitable for both adults and children , and the individual stations have been scientifically designed to provide a range of exercise . Most have simple instructions attached to them , and the stations include balance beams , sit - up bars , chin - up bars , parallel bars , and more challenging stations such as pole climbs and ladder walks . Bristol City Council have now installed trim trails in six parks , ranging in complexity from Withywood Park , which has a single station , to Victoria Park , which has nine . Funding for the trim trail at Hollingworth Lake , in Greater Manchester , which was the idea of the Friends of Hollingworth Lake and opened in August 2010 , was provided by the Big Lottery Community Spaces fund .

Famous for the naval battle in which four Christian ships took on his entire fleet and managed to win and escape .

Avia B . 35 The Avia B . 35 ( RLM designation Av - 35 ) was a fighter aircraft built in Czechoslovakia shortly before World War II . It was designed to meet a 1935 requirement by the Czechoslovakian Air Force for a replacement for their B - 534 fighter biplanes . The B . 35 was an elegant , low - wing monoplane with an elliptical wing . The fuselage was constructed from welded steel tube , covered in metal ahead of the cockpit and fabric aft , while the wing was of entirely wooden construction . Rather anachronistically , the Air Force specified a fixed tailwheel undercarriage for the aircraft , in the hope that this would speed development , as the mechanism for retracting the undercarriage was simply not yet available . Development . The first prototype , the B - 35 / 1 displayed excellent flying characteristics and high speed and was originally powered by a Hispano - Suiza 12Y drs piston engine . The powerplant was later changed to a 12Ycrs with an identical power output , but with provision for an autocannon to be fitted between the cylinder banks to fire through the propeller hub . Testing continued until 22 November 1938 , when the aircraft was destroyed in a crash that killed Avia test pilot Arnošt Kavalec . Nevertheless , a second prototype , B - 35 / 2 , was already reaching completion , and was fitted with redesigned ailerons and flaps . It first flew on 30 December with testing beginning in earnest in February 1939 . A pre - production series of ten aircraft was ordered , but before these could be built , Czechoslovakia was occupied by Germany in March 1939 . Development however was resumed under German control , with the substantially revised B . 35 / 3 flying in August 1939 . The elliptical leading edges of the wings had been replaced with straight ones , and an outwardly - retracting main undercarriage was fitted . This prototype was the first to actually carry its intended armament . Now , wearing German markings and the registration " D - IPBB " , it was displayed at the " Salon de l ' Aéronautique " in Brussels , where enough interest was generated to spur development of an improved version of the aircraft as the B . 135 .
Battle of Huanucopampa After the disastrous battle of Chimborazo , the expected victor of the war , Huáscar , had been deeply humiliated , his army routed and forced to withdraw to the south , shadowed by a contingent of the northerners sent by Atahualpa under the command of generals Chalcuchimac and Quizquiz , possibly as well Rumiñahui . Huáscar himself split his army along the border in three divisions , one main division commanded by Uampa Yupanqui with troops from Kuntisuyu and from the south , planning to cross the Cotabambas river . Another army was led by Guanca Auqui , Agua Panti , Paca Yupanqui and a third led by Huáscar himself ( taking command personally for the first time ) and his brothers Tito Atauchi and Topa Atao . The armies met at the plains close to Huanuco , when Huáscar ordered Uampa Yupanqui to take battle with the followers . Initially the battle was reportedly succeful for the Huáscaran troops , with Atahualpa ' s captain Tomay Rima killed in battle , upon when Huáscar launched a massive assault with all his soldiers . The battle allegedly lasted for an entire day and ended inconclusive , as Chalcuchima and Quizquiz pulled back upon night towards a hill nearby . Huáscar ordered his warriors to burn the grass , causing massive losses among the Atahualpan forces . Instead of pressing this attack , however , Huáscar chose to retreat safely to the south across the river , ordering his brother Topa Atao to fortify a pass carrying the main route to the nearby Inca capital of Cuzco . Once again followed by the army of Quizquiz and Chalcuchima , the latter managed to envelop and destroy the forces of Topa Atao . Permanently losing his possible outlets for advantage , Huáscar was himself defeated and captured at Quipaipan in April , 1532 .
