When we arrived on Saturday afternoon we went into the
bunker through a tunnel made from corrugated metal like a bomb shelter. We went
on a tour of the bunker, outside it was like a farm or a common and
it was in the dark so I kept tripping over and got covered
in mud. We walked over a bridge into the night. It was weird because I had
never been anywhere like this.
When we had our meal I helped to clear up. I really
liked trying on uniforms including the hats of an ARP warden and a firefighter.
We learnt that if a nuclear bomb is dropped the radiation would not travel more
than 10 miles, and the toilets in the bunker are called heads like on a ship.

We went to bed at
about 11pm sleeping on the floor with blankets and sleeping bags and some
people were livelier than others.
Breakfast was cereal and beans or spaghetti hoops on
toast – nice toast. Then we went outside to an assault course climbing on a
high wooden beam, it was fun. Some people didn’t like the height but I really
wanted to climb right up to the spider web. Then we went pioneering, crawling
through pipes which was gross, it was wet and dark and there might have been
rats.
I will always remember this trip, with relief and
fondness. It is a good trip for Cubs but probably not for younger children and
it would be even better without the dummies!
