Scout Report
Well the
forecast was correct and the winds were very
strong, although the only canvas it managed to claim was the main dining
shelter, and the toilet tent but that doesn’t count as we had not used all the
pegs (forgot to pack enough). The marquee was also hosting some deep puddles and
it wasn’t long before several drainage canals had been dug to deal with that.
The picture here was taken shortly after
the rain had stopped and shows the stream in flood, although at its height it
was well over the banks.
As the morning passed the rain
stopped and the sun came out, which was good news for the Scouts as they were
due to backpack to another camp site for the evening via various points where
they would pick up answers to some questions.
Having
studied the clues and organised their routes the two patrols set off after
lunch, taking with them their tents, a trangia stove and food for the evening
and following morning.
Seen here,
all smiles are the Bio Disposables on the left and the Dragons on the right.
