Night Climb 10th Feb 09

Woody123 — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 10:02:26 CST

On Tuesday 10th Feb.
The Unit headed up to Fordell Firs to do some night climbing and some Caving.
The majority of the unit had not done any climbing when it was dark and only with a spot light on them.
Once they got use to the shadows it was just like climbing during the day.

After they all had a climb they had a shot at group belay.
This was when 2 of them had control of the rope while the other climbed.
This was certainly an eye opener as they had to put their trust in other two.

After this they all went for a game of tig in the caves which was very funny.

Even though the temperture was sitting around 0'c it was still a very good night out.

Ready Steady Cook Off

Woody123 — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 09:17:17 CST

When it’s raining outside, there’s nothing on the telly and the shop is out of Battenburg,

What better way to spend a Tuesday Evening than a spot of Cooking.
When we got together on a wet and cold Tuesday night no one knew what to Expect it was time to clash swords in a ready steady cook evening.
It was going to be a bit like that television programme with the Red peppers and Green tomatoes just with out all the television bits.
They made up the teams and then headed out to Asda with the £5.00 in the pocket to come up with a delicious 2 course meal.
The proof was in the eating(That's all i am going to say)

Group Auction 15th Nov 08

Woody123 — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:46:08 CST

On Saturday 15th November.

It was the groups Annual Scout Auction.

Just like last year it was being held in the Scout Hall.

Plans were put in place several months ago and now it was the

Moment of Truth.

Duruing the week running up to the big day people were delivering items that they wanted to be sold on.

The week started of slowly and it looked like we would not reach 100 items.

But at close of play on the Friday night we had 118 lots to put under the hammer.

The Explorers stayed over on the Friday night and had an early rise on the Saturday to sort out the items into the Marquee out the back.

Between 10am and 11.30am it was the Bric 'a' Brac stalls which always seems to do well.

At 12pm the Aution started.

The First lot went under the hammer and never sold(Was this a things of what it was going to be like)

Over all we only had 8 items that did not sell during the day.

After it was all over it was time to tidy up and go home (very Tierd)

The signs were that we maneged to raise over £700 during the event.

Climbing 21st Aug 08

Woody123 — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 10:30:42 CDT

When the older Explorers were starting to learn about cars on the car course.
The younger memebers of the unit went up to Fordell Firs on a damp night to do a session on climbing.
They had a 1.5 hour session doing the 3 walls.
Some found it easier than others.
After the walls were completed they moved on to the Rope climb which was a tough challenge.
The responce from the night was that it was a good taster session and they would like to do more of the same
