Home again

Another great camp is over and we have all had a good nights sleep. The blog has not worked so well this year as it all had to be done from my phone as that was the only signal I could get !Will go on the lap top later and post all the thank you's of which there are a few.

It's stopped !

Raining that is - the cubs are on their day out today we are currently on the boat up to Ambleside and the sun is trying to make an appearance. We had a good visit to the aquarium and when we disembark we are off to the crazy golf. When we have finished that we are having our fish and chip supper, then back to camp. The scouts and explorers are doing their final day of activities. Battery low, more later!

Missing blog ! Again

Sorry another blog seems not to have up loaded I did write last night but can't see it. Tues was glorious sunshine all day very different to today ! Activities included canoeing high ropes instead of the sailing, the scouts learned survival skills and shelter building. 12 scouts slept out overnight in their shelters with a plan b to bring them in should the forecast turn out as predicted. It wasn't too bad although some were a little soggy.

Sunshine -bliss

Sailing was cancelled due to high winds but they had a high ropes alternative which was really great fun, Ethan was invested at the top (20 ft up) look out for the photos. One group of scouts have been canoeing and the explorers have been there this afternoon. The other scouts are on their way back from Ambleside, tea tonight pasta bolognese.

Hello apols for lack of blog

Hi everyone sorry can't get signal at site thought I had posted but checked and nothing there ! So we all arrived safely and in good time everyone is mow very well settled in. On Sunday the scouts and explorers went on their hike. The weather was just right very little rain not too warm they all did really well quite a few not walked that far before ! 5 older Cubs also went and completed half the walk about 5 miles.They got back around 3pm and after a shower had afternoon tea, scones cream and jam, went down well. The cubs had their own mini hike and adventure. Tea was roast turkey dinner never seen food move so quickly followed by pie and custard. Today Monday two groups are on the lake and one one their day out at the aquarium. Weather not great some wind about and rain typical lakes day. Canoeing is going ahead the sailing may have to be re scheduled.I can see some brighter sky so fingers crossed it might brighten up later. Will try and post again later but might be tomorrow before can get signal again. All are well happy and having fun.

Kit Day

Hi everyone

had a day off the shopping today ! just had to supervise Will's packing, need to pack my own kit sometime soon. Tonight the kit was dropped off at 4th Moreton, medications and pocket money collected in and final instructions given. Don't forget on Saturday you don't need to bring your own Group necker as we have had a new one made for us all especially for camp, we will give these out on Sat am as we board the coach. Only two days now until we depart, apparently it's lovely in the Lakes at the moment, let's hope it continues all of next week for us ! Fresh food shopping tomorrow what an interesting life I lead !
See you all Saturday.

Shopping begins

Hi everyone
completed my second trip to Costco today and the car has groaned back each day, laden with all the goodies for camp. Asda tomorrow to get the few bits I can't get from Costco (Cherry Bakewells !) and then back to Costco Friday for the fresh food, meat etc, think we will need a coach for the food alone ! Looking forward to seeing everyone with their kit on Thursday night, final arrangements have been emailed out to Thurstaston today.
see you soon
