A big group of explorers set off on a very rainy day and arrive back early to warm up. Scroll down for photos.
With everybody well equipped with boots and waterproofs, we set off slightly nervously under a grey winter sky. Down a lane we soon popped through an old iron gate and up a steep hill. Some people spotted signs of cows. "This cow must have slipped while he was doing a poo." We arrived at camp. Everyone helped to collect wood for the fire and we soon had two shelters and a rope swing up. Some people peeled sticks, some made five finger braids, others just enjoyed the mud or the rope swing.. Madeleine led a nice round of Christmas singing. In the slipper camp everyone was happy. We had marshmallows before packing up. The den was left standing and we marched back.
Best bits:- Peter - going on the swing; Madeleine - everything and that weaving; Daniel - going on the swing and mud sliding; Jack - I liked using the rope swing; Ben - the rope swing, probably; Tom - marshmallows and the mud; Ollie - everything, settling alight my marshmallows; Lara - doing the five finger weaving; Barney - making the hiking sticks; Sebastian - walking and making the den; Sophie - my best part was mud sliding
Leaders:- Barney, Sue and Lucy; Camp:- Ditch camp
