Recent Activities

April 2007

Just been to the PikeView Hike incident hike (www.pikeviewhike.co.uk)  held at Bibbys Farm Scout Camp at Rivington. 28km in 8 hours with 6 checkpoint incidents to complete and an ongoing incident/ quiz to complete as you walk the course. Plotting the route was a killer but we did it at last and only got lost a few times……well, OK, more than a few times. Even so it was a good weekend yet again.

 

Pictures below from one of the incidents:

 

 

 

 

 

 

October 2006

Back to the chariot race at Bispham Hall where we improved on last year and even qualified to run again in the second leg on Sunday. Still no placing though – perhaps 2007 will be our year! Oh, by the way the Scouts won the chariot of chariots trophy again with a quizzical ‘what’s in the box’ chariot.

 

August 2006

Completed the Atherton HQ – Middlewood – Dunham Massey trek this month, all 28 miles of it! We started on the Friday evening, deprting HQ at around 18:00 and walked the 9 miles or so to Middlewood Camp, fully laden with packs and provisions. There we camped overnight while the leaders and scouts stayed in a hut. The following day we walked all the way to Dunham village along the canals of Manchester, ending up for a well-deserved shandy and packet of crisps at the pub in Dunham village.

 

June 2006

Explorers is underway at last with it’s first camp on 23-25th June 2006, when we camped out back-woods style in the woods at Waddecar, and completed a 6 mile hike with fully-loaded packs to prepare us for the proposed Atherton-Middlewood-Dunham Massey hike later in the summer. The pictures are here: -
