Expedition Hike
This weekend, five Scouts undertook an expedition hike, from Velmead School, up the hill to Caesars Camp, and back down the other side to Hannam’s Copse in Crondall.
The weather was perfect for hiking, and the Scouts all behaved brilliantly, interacting and sharing jobs well – it was a joy to have them on the camp.
Saturday
They had lunch at the top, and a quick drink break in the Windmill pub in Ewshot. They carried all their personal kit, and covered 8 miles in a total of 6 hours.
Once there, they had to set up camp, prep and cook dinner (chicken/chickpea & paneer curry with spinach), then prep and light a fire.
Sunday
Leaders cooked breakfast on Sunday, then we broke camp and were cleared up and out by 11:30am.
Many thanks to Stuart, for all his help on the camp – we literally couldn’t have done it without you.
