Sore feet! That was the main thing us scouts and ventures had today. We left site around ten o’clock and the two venture patrols got dropped to a different place but were told to hike to the same town. After Enda left us at a place called Lee Valley Camp-site we were directed briefly to the town Enfield and off we went. It was a good hour and a quarter until we reached a Enfield and took a wrong turn! Luckily we bumped into some of the leaders when we turned back. We got in contact with the other patrol to meet up and it turned out they were much further in the town than we were so on we hiked for another twenty minutes or so. Inside Enfield we met the other patrol at McDonalds. Some of us were hungry so we went to buy some food, the others went to a park to relax.
We agreed to shop around for about two hours until we had to leave again so everybody got the chance to buy something nice if they wished. In the main shopping centre there was a clock projected onto the floor, it looked really cool.
The hike back was a lot more difficult. Everybody was getting tired and our feet really began to hurt. Unfortunately, we took another wrong turn on our way back and it stalled us for about three quarters of an hour! A passing woman helped us find our way back and instead of using a busy road she leaded us to a path the led right into our camp-site. We arrived back on site at seven o’clock after leaving Enfield at quarter to four! A long but in the end rewarding day for everyone.
