8 Mar 2008 - District Hike 2008

 

2nd place!

That rugby game cost us the lead!!!

 

We never quite determined if it was a competition or not, anyway there were so many distractions any thought of winning went clearly up in the air which, by the way, was a little damp. Spontaneous games of rugby and the pooh stick championships were a delighful distraction!

 

An excellent team - lacking on experience, but enthusiastic and up for it in every other way. The leader shadows really did not have a lot to do. Scout imposed time scales to reach the next checkpoint, Scouts correcting leaders map reading, well Daves actually, all resulted in a great fun, if not exhausting, 10 mile stroll around the Gordano Valley. For some Scouts the last leg was done sleep walking... 

 

Well done team!!

Took to map reading like Swiss to cheese
