1st Trevor ice camp
We camped at coxwood this weekend just gone - and it was pretty cold!
We're aiming for our dragon awards, and feel like we're cheating if we don't camp outdoors! Having said that, when we had to break the plates from the table on sunday morning where they'd frozen down, I wasn't so sure it had been one of my best ideas!
But we'd lived through the night - serious quantities of clothing involved! We did shooting on saturday afternoon (Thanks Ian and Chris) and the scouts loved it. Climbing on sunday am (big thanks to Aidrian, Terry, Scott and John) - despite the cold, several of the scouts bettered their last climbing attempts at Coxwood.
We even managed something a bit different for dinner on saturday - rabbit and pheasant stew - and the scouts had to pluck the pheasants and prepare them and the rabbits!
All in all a great weekend - however, I will be looking into cheating for the next camp!
