Easter Hikes Dartmoor 2007 |
6th, 7th, 8th & 9th April |
| Two groups of Explorer Scouts travelled to Dartmoor for a weekends hiking over Easter.
The weather was perfect for walking although a little cold at night. One or two of the Explorers learnt
the hard way about wearing two pairs of socks to prevent blisters but everyone enjoyed the trip.
There was quite a large group of non-walkers on the trip which almost became an Iceland
Summer Camp reunion. |
