For something a little different, we booked the hammock pitch at Thriftwood, with all young people and all but two leaders sleeping in hammocks. Alas some of us awoke a little soggy following heavy rain in the early hours on Saturday, but with a few adjustments and everything drying out during the day everyone was keen to do it again Saturday night. Scouts cooked their own breakfast over open fires after a starter of cereal or porridge, which is becoming increasingly more popular and our meal on Saturday evening was roast chickens and vegetables cooked in our cast iron Dutch ovens in the hot embers of the fire; everyone had their fill with no room for desert. Activities included raft building and climbing, with new Scout Estha being invested on the climbing wall.
