1st Clare Explorers / Network Endurance Event

Steven Dark — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 09:48:33 +0000

From Tuesday until the small hours of Friday some of 1st Clare Explorers and 2 Network members took up the Endurance Challenge.

The first day involved biking from Barnard Castle to Alston, then Hiking from Alston to Garrigill, and a Swim at Garrigill.

The Second day started off with a trip down a Mine, then biking from Garrigill to Armathwaite for a climb. They then biked from Armathwaite to Ullswater.

Day Three started off with a paddle across Ullswater, then they continued on the bikes from Ullswater to Windermere. Once there they finished off with a quick hike up the hill for a view across the lake.

All in all around 90 miles of biking was completed over the few days along with all the other activities.

Here are a few pictures from the event.

Aged 17½ to 25 or Know Someone That Is?

Sudbury District Scout Network

Aged 17 ½ to 25 OR Know Someone That Is?

The Sudbury District Scout Network is for anyone aged 17 ½ -25 years old. Most, but not all of our members, are also leaders.

In 2011 we enjoyed a walking weekend in the Peak District (White Peaks), a fantastic weekend Mountain Biking in the North York Moors, a Trig Point Challenge in the Peak District (Dark Peaks) and a cycle weekend in the South Downs.

Some of our members also attended the County Climbing & Hill Walking events in 2011.

Our next event is on the 14^th January 2012 when we will be heading up to London to attend the Outdoor Show.

If you are a leader in the Sudbury District , there is no membership fees as your group has already paid your annual capitation. If you are not a leader, the cost is £30.00 per year. This covers your capitation and a small amount for administration cost. All events after that are on a pay as you attend basis.

If you wish to join us, please e-mail me your name and contact details or feel free to give me a call if you wish to find out more.

We hope to hear from you soon!

New Activities at Hallowtree

Message from Carl Reeder – 11th Ipswich

Two brand new activities have been inspired, developed and created by the 11th Ipswich Scout Group.

You can now be a player in the Human Football table where you become the plastic man. Challenge other scout groups to a game!

And you can now wobble your way to the top of 22 milk crates…

Other activities could be introduced like orienteering, low ropes, snake pits, team see-saws, Giant Jenga, Draughts, Chess, Assault courses, etc… I would like to challenge other groups to help me make Hallowtree even more exciting and sponsor an activity either with money but probably more importantly time and effort. Not all the activities have to cost loads to implement, some simply need someone within a group who is passionate about scouting to make a difference.
