BBQ

It's been a really nice sunny evening here in Wales so we enjoyed eating the BBQ alfresco.

Lots of chicken, burgers, sausages, cheese, salad and bread. Followed by ice-cream sandwiches and Welsh cakes.

Shortly we will be having an 80's disco - that's why they are in their bright colours 🙂

Time to clean up

We are now back at The Old School Lodge. Tonight's dinner is a BBQ followed by an 80's disco so Scouts now have tike to shower off anything they brought back from the river they have been scrambling in and find their legwarmers and neon t-shirts 😋

Thursday

Breakfast is done (bacon rolls cooked to perfection again by Martin).

The Scouts are now double checking they have all the correct kit for today's activity.

Shortly we will be heading off to the Afon Ddu Gorge for a session of Gorge Scrambling. It's an activity the current Scouts have never done so they are really excited to be doing it.

Another day done

That's it for Wednesday at Summer Camp. As it wasn't raining this evening we went on a 2 mile hike around the village and fields of Deiniolen (where we are staying). Some really nice views of the surrounding hills and mountains.

The Scouts are busy making their lunches now so we can get away just before 9am tomorrow for another day of adventure.

Heading Back

It's been a great day at Zipworld. The coaster was very popular and most would have quite happily spent all day on there. The screams you could hear were of joy not fear though 🙂

The Sky Ride was closed due to a technical issue so we got offered the plummet or another nets session (at no extra cost). So the Scouts got to do whatever they were comfortable with during the afternoon.

They have filled up with ice creams and drinks and now we are heading back to The Old School Lodge for dinner.

Coaster and Nets

This morning we are at Zip World Fforest. First activity was the coaster that is a roller coaster through the woods that you control. This was followed by the Tree Top Nets, which is like bounce below but in the trees.

A big yellow thing

It's Wednesday morning and something is in the sky that we haven't seen for 24 hours... The sun!

Hopefully it will stay that way for the rest of the day, although there maybe the odd shower.

The Scouts alarm call will be in a couple of minutes.

Earlier than planned

It's been a very easy journey back down South and we are well ahead of schedule. Barring no hold ups we should be back a whole hour earl...
