We go everywhere





Sent from my iPhoneWeather - rain, wind, rain, wind - make your mind up !
Canoeing today on Lake Gwynant and a potter around Betws Y Coed.
Canoeing went well which a short hike across to the Lake and a guaranteed soak at the end.
Tomorrow is hike day. Wind should be dropping so it's up up and away.

Climbing today



Today we are climbing around Tryfan. We set up four routes and everyone had a go going up. Routes got harder the further we went up. Great views down the valley towards Yr Hafod Scout mountaineer centre. Weather has held up today after a down pour yesterday evening. Tomorrow looks fun with winds picking up but we are in sheltered valley. Beef Curry for tea - spicy as you like.
Canoeing tomorrow.

Expedition - Wet, Wet and Wet


Well what a wet one..........
Scouts walked 8 Km from Millthorpe learning navigation on the way. Overnight we stayed as Baslow and the heavens just opened. Everything got wet including the cake. Next day after packing up all the wet kit, it was 12 KM back to Dronfield to dry out and warm up. Well done to all Scouts who took part - certainly a challenge.

Dronfield 10KM


All round sucess at the Dronfield 10 K this year. We had some excellent times from both Scouts and parents with Scouts coming 2nd, 3rd, 11th and 16th in the fun run and parents competing in the main run all coming under 1 hour.
Further we kicked off our Shelter Box appeal with £85 being raised on the day to get us well under way for our target of £600 !
Weather was excellent for all and thank you again to every one who marshalled in the event,                                                                                       Much appreciated.

Drums a Drumming


Scouts learnt about African Drumming on Wednesday. We played a mixture of Group and Team work sets and by the end everyone was playing in harmony. Scouts were set a challenge to play a rhythm together, for 60 seconds. Cobras came out on top with an excellent display of team work.
