Putting the band together...

Wrist band that is.... :)

Yeh! paracord wrist bands for all! And if you're out in the wild and need a paracord as emergency guyrope/splint/bootlace/... you've got 8 foot of it and a shackle!

Knot on the blog

OK I know - I'm leaving it a bit late to blog the prog, but I am doing it bit by bit... This week we will do a sort of crissy-crafty thing so bring some music, food , drink, whatever and we'll chill whilst we craft some stuff... making emergency survival thingys... 



dance-of-entanglement-exploring-our-attachments-literally-tied-up ??? 

Hmmm... maybe knot...

Ultra chocolate

The U-V treasure hunt worked!

And we got to the end...

...where we found treasure! Ultra-Chocolate!



We've challenged Bicton to join us for an inter unit U-V treasure hunt now we know that it works and that we can set up the trail and run it in an evening - should be fun!

Rock and ROLL!

We've bought the ball!

... go Boreatton Hamster Scouts!

Ultra violet - ultra wet

Uh oh - falling behind with the blog... ahem - I will make amends soon...

Meanwhile here's a consent form for tonight when we do a dry run for the u-v town trail for Bicton Explorers! 
When I say dry run, that may be optimistic so we will see how it goes! (just heard the weather forecast for the next hour - 10 hours of rain is incoming! Oh well - if we can do it in that then we can definitely do it on a nice evening! Plan B will be to go to a Cafe and drink hot chocs whilst looking at how awful it is!

BSGMG

Hah! They tried to take the SSGMG away from us because it had turned into a private mountaineering team for Boreatton! But we've got it back - Pete and I begged them and so they've given us both T2 permits and now we can do the hikes ourselves! And they'll even take us to Scotland to do the serious snow sliding!

This Sunday is Cnicht, the Matterhorn of the Moelwyns! 


Mini on the top - I didn't take a pic of the 'Matterhorn view' as it is a bit of a scramble and I was busy scrambling! 


and here's another pic from last time with Rich setting a good example of being careful on thin ice! 

A nice shortish day with a bit of a scramble and dams and lakes to play in. As this is the first one with my shiny new permit and as Pete is away, they've given me another leader from Yr Hafod, who I secretly think is spying on me to see that I really have got a good gang of mountain walkers so I need a bunch of you to turn out with all the right gear! It's a nice little mountain, so should be fun!

Let me know if your coming asap!

scoutiness

Hmmm... I think we need a consent form every time we do anything away from the hut, but the district bonfiore didn't have any consents so maybe I'm being too scouty??? Anyway - it would be good to have consent to wave sparklers and launch display fireworks as this is sometimes disapproved of as a risky activity, so here's a form! :)
