After getting saw paws doing all that typing at the Jamboree, I'v been a bit slow at doing reports here.  I'v been on three camps since last summer.

The Frost Camp at Bntley was wet under foot, but warm.  J-W spent all his time outside the shooting range doing safety talks.  We were in the lodge again for two nights.

Nights Away +2 = 146

New Forest with about 35 Scouts and 12 leaders in April.  We found a damaged set of Wood Beads in the middle of th forst by a stream and rope bridge.  Three times on two different days, we had to dodge the hail stones.  The first time every one was sitting down having lunch.  We saw lots of deer including a white one.  We got mugged by a pony for J-W's apple.  One of the young leaders routed us through a river a couple of times.  So J-W gave up and just walked across and got wet socks.  We alsochanged which station we ended at, as we were given a different set of trains to use.  So all the leaders were having to think on the last day.

Nights away +2 = 148.

April 2012, 1st Shalford Group Family Camp.  This year we were camping at Loxwood Village about 10 miles away.  Trouble is no-one told J-W that the plan was changed and we were not sleeping over on the Friday.  We only found out after the ten mile cycle with full kit on the bike.  We got a lift back, and I stayed with the cycle bags in the Scout Leaders car.  We had good weather after two weeks of rain.  J-W and I were in charge ofthe bridge building using ropes and dead full.  I got J-W into a climbing harnise, so he could act as a moving end post for a hand rail, so we did not have the Beavers falling off of the bridges.  We also most shoot one off who fall onto the rope, when J-W pulled the rope tight a bit quick!

Nights Away, J-W is only letting me have the night in the tent, not the one in the car.  +1 =149.
