Scout Night Hike / March Camp
I have the pleasure of joining the Scout Troop on a night hike from North Stifford to Brentwood this evening.
I’ll upload photos of our progress on this post – as long as my battery lasts anyway!
Friday 24th March:
Everyone is happy and rearing to go!
Morale is high – and they don’t seem to know we are here!
Side note: blogging while walking through woods in the dark is a bad idea!
10.30pm Update: we are about to cross over the A127 – just over half-way. The Scouts are asking how much further but all are doing well!
12.20am Update: a couple of miles left but we have found civiiisation!
01:05am Update: just arrived at Thriftwood. Everyone is just fine.
Concerned parents – you can sleep now!

Saturday 25th March: Day 2
The scouts as a quiet morning, perfecting their knife and as skills and building some of the worst bivouacs we’ve ever seen!
Saturday afternoon was demolition derby:
Is there a weight limit?
And sausages and chips cooked on a open fire for dinner, follows by bananas with melted chocolate and marshmallows.
