| Nineteen Scouts took part in the Fitness Hike 2 on 22nd
February 2003. We had 3 teams walking 3 different routes. Each route
was the same distance of 10 miles and it was a race to get back to
the Scout Hut.
Each team started at 10:00am from their point and
got back to the Scout hut in around 4 1/2 hours. All of the Scouts
seemed to enjoy themselves and a few tired feet afterwards. The
Scouts had to do the map reading themselves but had the option of
asking for help from their helper, with a 5 minute time penalty
being added to their finishing time.
Teams had to stop for a 40
minute break at which they were given 2 question sheets worth 10
minutes each. Meaning if they got both papers correct, they would
have 20 minutes taken off their finishing time. Results and route
cards are at the bottom of this page.

Fitness hike 2
On the 22nd of February 2003 3 groups of scouts did around a 10
mile hike back to the scout hut. The hike took a couple of hours
and was very muddy. The scouts did this hike so they could get
their fitness badge to help get their Chief Scout Award. All of
the boys tried really hard and succeeded in getting back,
eventually. Out of the red, green and blue teams the red team
won. Well done.
