First of all, we met
at the hall and packed the kit into the van. We had a lot of kit in 1 van so
most (that’s me and a few others) had to carry things in their lap. We stopped
at Lidl to buy food and snacks. I found that I could by a pack of chocolate bourbons
for 45p! We arrived at Frylands, our campsite, and drove our stuff to where we
were pitching. We pitched our tents.
After pitching the tents, our group (Me, Josh, Ewan Ben, Harry and Lewis) did our pioneering project which was to build a monkey bridge. This went well and we were all able to cross it. After that we had some free time in which Mowgli, Harry, me and some others went on a walk to the nearest hill above the bomb crater for a walk and to watch the sunset. On the way back, we found some woven sticks from a near by wood pile.
After this, we came
back to the campsite and had beef stew for dinner. Me, Ewan and Lewis quickly
made a bivouac to sleep in. We used the woven sticks and leant them together
then water proofed with ferns. After that, we played German spotlights as are
wide game (explained by Billy in last months camp report). When we finished the
game we game back to the campsite to sing songs and eat marshmallows. Then we
went to bed.
In the morning we made
breakfast: Sausages (well made by Josh), Eggy Bread (Hopefully well made by me)
and “Well” made Bacon, that is if you like it black. After that, we took down
the monkey bridge and learnt how to do a Japanese Lashing before finally
packing up and heading home.
