On the 11th September 2005, a group of Scouts and leaders headed into London to have a trip on the London Eye and attend the BBC Family Prom in the Park.

Here is a report from two of the Scouts on the journey home.

Today we went to London, it was fun. We first all started at Hitchin station - Ashley forgot his neckerchief. We took the train down to London’s kings cross. We then took another train to Leicester square.

We took a walk down the Thames to the London Eye. We then had lunch in the park and all the pigeons came to eat our lunch so I ran making funny faces to get them away.

After going to the play area, we went on the London Eye and enjoyed this trip. We then walked all the way to Buckingham Palace and took some pictures and saw the changing of the guards.

We then walked to Hyde Park and me and Ashley got some whistles and was annoying Paul :):). Then the show started with the orchestra. All of the bands were brilliant. I left my bag at the toilets but luckily Adam picked it up. We then walked down Oxford Street and got the train home and I am writing this on the train home. We all enjoyed it but we kept on asking for the cricket to be on at Hyde Park. From James and Ashley
