Our theme was Gunpowder, Treason and Plot!
Friday
We arrived at 8pm, settled in then went for a walk in the rain. Supper was slices of pizza then we decided what patrols we wanted to be in, and made name badges & patrol posters. We chose our own patrol names - sparklers, firecrackers and "les Plots"! The guides were in bed by midnight but let's not ask what time they were actually asleep!
Breakfast, clear up, duties
Snack - fruit
Site activities - crate climbing, archery (choose one or do both). Everyone had a go at crate climbing and most people tried archery. While we were waiting for the instructors there was time to try out the adventure play area, which had ropes, tyre swings, a swaying bridge and a scramble net.
Tuck shop was open and everyone went & bought sweets, badges & souvenirs.
Lunch
Rest time (the guiders needed it even if the girls didn't)
Crafts: t-shirt painting, pepper lanterns (due to a shortage of pumpkins!), nightlight holders
Dinner - an incredible spread planned and produced by the senior patrol.
Campfire (indoors with candles) and Alison W, Charlotte & Heather made their promises
