We spent the weekend at the Leslie Sell Scout Camp at Bromham near Bedford and hired their dormitory accommodation. The first day of the camp was specially for the Patrol and Assistant Patrol Leaders and the the rest of the troop arrive at Saturday lunch time to prepare for the night hike.

The PL's and APL's arrived at 7:00pm on Friday and worked togther with the Leaders for a couple of hors on Troop matters before venturing outside for a fire.

After a good breakfast we explored the camp sote and used up the rest of the fire wood which had been collected.

The rest of the Troop arrived at 2:00pm and we all set about planning the route for the night hike. It started to rain about 3:45pm about 15 minutes befoer the first group set off! It continued to rain all evening and intot he night ... and everyone got soaked!!!

After a four hour walk, everyone arrived back to tuck into baked potatoes bolognaise ... yum!!

After a good nights sleep everyone was woken by Anton's alarm call and a full English breakfast. The Leaders slept on the floor in the common room and Lawrence reckoned that he didn't get a wink of sleep because all the other Leaders snored. The rest of the morning was spent air rifle shooting.

Joe's amasing five shots.
