Alderley Scout Council

Just got back from a Young Leaders Weekend at Linnet Clough. What a great time the Explorers had. Friday, we had film in the forest (St. Trinnians if you have to know !). Up bright and early Saturday morning for sausage, bacon and scrambled eggs. Then we got stuck into the young leader modules, I did the communications module then Jackie was demonstrating knot tieing with liquorish - good news is, when you got the knot right you got to eat it ! Then onto learning how to make a zip pull with Chris. Then we made a hammock which was strong enough to hold an elephant (I may be slightly exagerating !). Chris's demonstration of how how to light a fire with a bunch of flowers was slightly mared by him cutting his thumb and bleeding over eveything. Still, Carolyn was great at waving the torch round to start the fire. Then we went up to "The Cube" the high wire activity. Everyone had a go. Michael was embarassed by Laura. Ben who is afraid of heights was a star. Carolyn was tempted to show how good she was and the special one got her shoe lace stuck and almost got the emergency instructor out of his warm hut. Josh was Josh  ! We slept well !
Sunday the Explorers did archery and shooting before packing up for the return home. Thanks guys for a good weekend.
