Get High
Hah! Finally managed to book this - there was a general reluctance to get up early, so I have booked it for the Wednesday in the Hols - we can set off at a civilized 11am or so and have a leasurely flight around the tree tops at the Get Wet adventure Company - the highest high ropes in the country! (they say) with a zip wire t get down - Wizzzzzard!
Book a place now as I will give away spare places to older scouts and explorers we know from elsewhere after our meeting tomorrow...
Hey - it looks like Zip Fiji!

Expediting expeditions
It's half way through term and we still havn't planned any DofE expeditions! They're fun and challenging and you get awards too!
I've agreed with Richard that he will assess you (i.e. you need to survive the expedition!) so now we need to plan the route etc. So on Thursday, come if you want to plan an expedition, plan a practice expedition, help someone else plan an expedition! And come prepared! (ideas/dates/maps...)
I am trying to book the high ropes which is proving surprisingly tricky, but it looks most likely to be Weds 29th May - should be a nice half day break in exam revision for those in the middle of the exam season, or just a nice half day if you are not!

Summer hiking
Its a new year (for the Mountain Group) We do a nice easy intro hike this month, on Sunday 19th May, to get the new season underway and blow the cobwebs from our kit before a summer programme with climbing and Snowdon (Hurrah!). And it's going to be sunny!
It's great fun and we always have a good gang from Boreatton. Sorry the posting is a bit late...

Back to basics
I always thought that the basic elements worked as a scoutty theme so, given that we failed to plan in the planning night, I've picked two as a temporary stopgap for the onset of summer...
(come prepared for the icosahedral element, Platonically that is)
