An update from Akela. - they were all happy at
5.30am this morning.Ummmm. We acquired a fire last night. Lovely evening dodging the midges all evening. Almost wishing the rain back to make the bugs go away. The Scouts have porridge for breakfast this morning, happy faces all round.
Much discussion and thinking over the Scouts assessed pioneering project. If this is fully involved and successful, they will achieve their pioneering badge.
Having put off a pioneering project until this afternoon, finally we were smiled upon and had a nice afternoon to build a gate. Very traditional and another photo to add to the collection. Gate hastily converted to a swing post photo, and much fun ensued.
Well at least we know what rain looks like. It rained all the way up to Beaudesert. It rained (lots) whilst we put the camp together. We had a momentary flash of sunshine, then we had a thunderstorm and lots more rain. Even so, everyone is well, happy, and looking forward to a week of ( hopefully not quite so wet ) camp.
Lunch in Trafalgar Square. Thus is an OK place to bring the French isn't it? No historical connotations here mob
Dinner is prepared and hanging over the fire. As soon as the spuds are done it is chilli allround
