Well, we had everything at Gilwell wintercamp, a long journey in a very noisy minibus, arriving at 22.45 with just 15 minutes to spare. A very windy night so it was about 01:15 before we all got to bed, yawn, a nice warm night though. Saturday saw everybody off doing activities, we caught up with them at the Segway base learning how to ride them, easy isn't it! Apparently the guys who owned them had adjusted the speed especially for the scouts, upwards of course, so these were FAST.
After that we didn't see anybody again so headed off to the rifle range
to catch up with our staff team. He you can see one of only two National
Rifle Squad Beany Hats in the world!!!
Wandering around site we saw a few more attractions....

Saturday night saw a nice clear sky and the temperature tumbling to well below zero. Somebody managed to steal our Russian flag, complete with pole, the Mongolian one snapped off in the wind but the Shropshire flag stood steadfast, complete with Morse Code beacon flashing BOREATTON (I think)
