Explorer camps
Sun, 30 Aug 2009 02:29:17 GMT
I sat this morning over breakfast at camp discussing it with a few of the
15/16 year olds and we reached a few interesting conclusions about how
things have changed in the past few years.
50 years ago we would have used elsans, and have a cold wash in a bowl. Now
we use toilet blocks with hot showers. Most ES ...

pie and earing
Sat, 29 Aug 2009 08:21:16 -0700 (PDT)
just- finally- got some new pioneering poles, and looked in rope store
to be appalled by what my old GSL used to call "fobogpol rope" (Fell
off back of GPO lorry). In other words the polyprop rope used to pull
cables through ducting.
That's largely all we have in lashing lengths.
I need better if I want to teach ...

Holiday Thoughts...
Fri, 21 Aug 2009 14:27:04 +0100
Isn't it always great to get away on holiday. The opportunity always comes
to see how much greener the grass is somewhere else. How many of us come

favourite destination.
Of course, the reality is, for most of us, that it will never happen, ...

Are the National Activity Centres getting used?
Thu, 20 Aug 2009 04:49:03 -0700 (PDT)
I was at Youlbury yesterday, visiting a group who were camping there,

one of our main National Activity Centres in the middle of the summer
holidays, I wouldn't be able to m ...
