BURNE TROOP VISIT LITTLEBROOK POWER STATION

On a very snowy Thursday night 9th Feb at 7.30 the lads of Burne Troop descended on the Littlebrook Power Station for a two hour guide around the site. We were made to feel very welcome by Eileen and another tour guide whose name we didn’t catch (sorry). Firstly a brief talk in the warm along with drinks & biscuits for all, then we all donned hard hats, hi-vis jackets and safety glasses for the grand tour which was mostly outdoors with the snow coming down hard. The grand finale was the visit to the enormous control room furnished with masses of screens & computers. It was amazing!!!

A trip well worth doing with all 20 Scouts getting a lot out of the visit.

Thank you Littlebrook we’ll be back again.
