Tonight’s blog is written by Scout, Tori, and Venture Scout, Kushal
Tuesday 8th July
We got up late because we were going to be on site for the day. We had breakfast and started our first activity. We did the most muckiest adventure course we had ever seen. It’s called SpiderLand and it was so much fun. Most people had to throw their clothes away afterwards. We were soaked to the skin!
Then we had soup for lunch and started our afternoon activity. First we had to build an object that would be creative and useful; our group did a billboard of other country’s and the other did a throne type thing for one of the scouters. We then had another patrol challenge, we had to build a higher flag pole than the other patrol. We had potatoes & sausages for dinner.
After dinner we were suppose to be playing a game altogether (2 scout patrols & Ventures) but our petrol had a surprise trip and went with a leader to a Costa Coffee Shop up the road. It was so good! When we came back we stayed up for a while talking and then went to our tents. It was a great day!

Wednesday 9th July
Well today was quite the day. It started the usual way get up, eat breakfast, etc. Then we were handed our pack lunches and sent on our way to gorse island (Gorseinon) with vague directions and iffy landmarks from Nick. All the patrols set out at around 10:40.
Firstly the Venture patrol went out and it was clear sailing and we got to Gorseinon. We explored the town saw the shops and got further directions to Llanelli town we were told to go to even though the leaders knew full well that none, not even the great ventures, would make it. This extended our journey to around 25km over the course of 7 hours. In the end we decided that it was too much effort to go to Llanelli even though we were 2 miles short. At around 6 we decided to eat and had some subway and takeout. Conor realised what happened and “rescued” us in the car.
The scouts on the other hand got to atown did some shopping and got lost in some forest and with the guidance of Krzysztof ended up climbing a 90 degree slope. That’s all I know considering I wasn’t with them.
After we got back we played “knowing me, knowing you ,aaaahhh” the raven patrol won but I personally feel that the dire wolves should’ve won because we know Shane and we had fun. We ended the day with hot chocolate and I got a s’more for doing this blog which is nice. That’s it I think. I hope.
Gavin had too much hot chocolate and and went around saying “yo yo yo” to everyone.
