On Friday 14th
October 2011, I rushed to the Scout hall, where we were spending the night to
ensure we got an early start the next morning.
Early the
next morning we loaded up the minibus and set off for Fishbourne, stopping off
for breakfast at TESCO.
After
roughly two hours, we arrived at the farm where we were going to spend the next night. We set up the tents, then went into the marquee where the 1st
Southbourne Sea Scouts were and ate some biscuits. We then went to the tree
where some of the other troop was playing. We built swings and ladders and a
pulley out of wood and rope and things we brought. At about 8pm we went to take
part in some outdoor games and got lots of scratches from nettles and twigs. We
ate some pasta, pancakes and drinking STEAMING HOT CHOCOLATE!!!! I now always
check if my coffee is alright before I drink it.
We then sat
around the fire and sung some Scouty songs. The funniest part was when one of
the Southbourne scouts made his own odd version of one of the songs. EVERYONE
laughed, including the leaders. Then we went to sleep.
The next day
we got up, had some breakfast and then assembled an obstacle course. We then
took it on in teams. I think it was comprised of a slackline with ropes to grab
onto, climbing over an upside-down chair-like frame and a web-like arrangement
of ropes which you had to step or crawl through before assembling a bicycle.
Shortly
after we took everything down and packed up the tents and what was left into
the minibus and headed back, exhausted but happy.
