The Cubs arrived at 12.00 on Saturday and after registration they settled into their tents for the camp. After packed lunches, bow making was begun, helped by Chris and Ashley, Matthew and Dom.
Later we prepared pizzas for dinner and started our Bayeux Tapestry. After dinner we hiked to Trowse Green for fun on the park and football. We hiked back in the dark and enjoyed hot chocolate around the campfire before 'lights out' at 10.30pm
It was a very cold night with ice on the tents from 2.00am to 7.00am.
Everyone enjoyed a hot drink in the morning, with cereal and bacon 'sarnies' then we prepared sandwiches for lunch. We marched to St Johns Church where we renewed our promise and after enjoy some birthday cake for a local man Peter Battle's 94th birthday.
We went to Theobald Rd park for a bit of fun and then to Cooper's Camp for games and lunch. after which we rowed back to HQ.
Alex Saunders ( Charles' nephew and a chef ) arrived to help prepare our individual 'Soldiers Dinners' which included rice, potato, carrot, onion and a beefburger all cooked in a tin foil tray. mmmmmmm ........ delicious! followed by chocolate roll and chocolate sauce .......lovely!
Camp fire songs were sung around the fire and after Hot Chocolate and a short Horrid Henry film all the cubs were desperate to go to bed!
Monday dawned fine and sunny and very warm with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Shaun, our Explorer Leader, arrived to run a climbing ( castle besieging ) activity, ably assisted by Dom, with some cubs
whilst others practiced archery with their bows and enjoyed pillow fighting with Matthew. Charles and Ali took the tents down and then prepared the Hot Dogs for lunch.
Parents arrived at 14.00 for the closing ceremony and presentations and the cubs left for home at 14.30, just leaving a bit more clearing up to be done before the leaders were able to go home and collapse!
