Not a bunny in sight...

...Traditional bank holiday District Scout camp, and by way of a change allowed Mr Tesco to supply the grub...The great thing about this camp is the organised activities, ranging from abseiling to kayaking, shooting and archery, crafts to geocaching...and much more.

Here's a couple of pics to give a flavour...

Scouts and landies

An evening paddle when the water was quiet

No one can reach me out here...

Mess, Bell and Tipi

Miss Stovie paddling

There's a tipi in there some where

Early June will see us out on our own again...and a lot lighter...
All in all a lovely sunny bank hol...

Classic camp tents and old landies, magic.

We've started quite a trend in the district with the bell tents. Having bought ours two years ago, four groups have followed suit and replaced all their flimsy polyprop tat with bells, and at least three other groups were making serious muttering noises at the weekend. Before you know it we'll have a district with nothing but bells...OoooErrrr Commissioner...

Looks like you all had a good time on a very nice site...is it owned by Scouts or privately?
