Rain doesn't stop play








Sent from my iPhoneAfter a heavy morning rain and a few tents casualties we headed off to the sports centre for a footie match and a quick swim.
Lots of kit to dry when we get back !

Fog and Fuss







Beware pending tent inspection.
Scouts went gorge walking and Explorers enjoyed sweeping views up Harter Fell.
Weather has been kind but that's set to change - batten down the hatches tonight after Chocolate Cake, of course.

Canoeing Day



Windermere - Canoeing
Sessions - 2 across the lake and 3 around the islands. Opportunity to swim and chill out in between. Everyone got wet so they have had one wash at least. Lots of wet kit to sort out later but that's just camp !
Big thanks to Chris, Lucia and Kev 😊

Climbing - Curbar Edge























Excellent evening climbing session at Curbar Edge. Lovely clear and sunny night. Scouts had four routes to try and most had a go at everyone. Route one proved to be very tricky with nobody getting a clear go. Must practice more !!

Navigation Longshaw





We ran a navigation exercise out at Longshaw last night. Despite rain all day - the sun popped out at 7 PM with the most amazing sunsets afterwards. This lit up Burbage in brilliant yellows and pinks.
Navigation exercise was to judge who is at what level in regards to Navigation. Results shortly .....

St George's Day




Excellent turn out today. Good service by the vicar - mainly because it was short but also he introduced some humour. Scouts looked very smart. "Shout Outs" to Izzy for a last minute step up to do reading and Jacob carrying the flag ....Happy St George's Day
