Last weekend (13th and 14th) J-W had to go on a Nights Away Course and then go camping with the Cubs.

He had to cycle over to Ripley, which is ten miles away and the other side of the Downs (which go up as well).  We had to be there for 8:45, but the keyholder was not there! After the course J-W cycled off down some roads which went up and down, left and right.  It was like a bad fair ground ride.  We went up onto Ranmore Common and then down one hill and up something called Box Hill.  I did not see any boxes, but quite a bit of a long zig-zag road, which is called the Zig-Zags.  Who said humans did not have a sense of humour.

The cubs took  ages to pack the next morning and were off finding insects and other minibeasts.

We cycled back down the zig-zags (on Sunday), which were now facing down the hill not up it, how did they know which way we wanted to go. It was slow as we got stuck behind a car, so J-W did nor pedal for most of the way down.

84 nights away now.
