End of Day - Wednesday 30th July

Today the scouts have been on an incident hike, roughlky 8 miles in length round the surrounding rural countryside of Tolmers/Cuffley/Potters bar.
 As usual hte day started with Falg Break, then instructions for the hike.
 The Scouts went out in groups of 4-8 and all of them successfuly navigated the route with no problem.
 As for the leaders, we were out helping with various parts of the hike, some of us were running a base, some were at the cam exit pointing the various groups of Scouts up the path behind the campsite, and Some of us ( such as myslef ) were out on the hike performing sweeper dutys, following the last groups and stragglers and making sure that thye made it to the next checkpoint.
 There were also Tolmers crew out and about just in case anyone got realy lost, or there were any injuries etc. as far as i know there were neither.
 more tommorow, back to general activities.

that's it for tonight

scouts are all asleep, since 11pm more Tommorow

evening

evening activities, most of the Scouts are in the cinema marquee watching the lego movie, and some are sat round the future back at camp playing cards.
And we've escaped the storms that have effected the south east (so far)

A few bits from this morning

Just seen the news about heavy rain/storms etc in the South East, fortunately so far they have missed  us here at Tolmers-  it started off a bit wet, but the rain soon cleared, at the moment its still warm, mostly sunny with just the odd light shower - not even enough to make it worth putting a jacket on.

A few photos and a  video from earlier today.
Zip line and Quad bikes:
