De fault

the 2 sweetest words in the English language. Which is how I appear to be winning this months poll, so get voting.

is as good as a rest

Well another change of venue. This week we are at.....Arbory School. Da da daaaaaa!

Bare in mind that the southern 100 track will probably be closed.

for those of you who don't know where Arbory school is here's google

The wheels on the train go round and round?

Actually they fell off! My negotiations with the dept of transport have failed, lets just say overtime was mentioned and leave it at that.

Soooooo. The backup plan for next week was to mountain bike around the South Barule cycle tracks. Pending checking that the area won't be closed, already used and suitable thats what we'll do. I'll have to switch to my knobby tires and probably inflate them too. Such is life.

Museum Madness

Well I got a call from a nice man today who represented the Military and Aviation Museum and we are booked in for Friday. I'm not entirely sure that we can spin it out for 90 minutes but you never know. Perhaps I'll bring the balls for an impromptu game of Kingball, as long as we stay away from the road, oh and any planes.

On a different note I'm not entirely sure anyone is reading these posts so if you are email me to let me know. Oh and vote in the new poll, vote for me. BTW the result of the last poll was orienteering and we arranged (we island scouting, not royal we) a competition a couple of weeks ago so things do happen based on these polls. Not this one of course, it's just an ego trip. Vote me.

If you do have ideas, suggestions, pathological desire to take up a leadership position my door is always open. Metaphorically, I close the real one when it's cold.

Kriss Kross Cringle

For those of you who have no idea where Cringle Reservoir is. Bare in mind that the A27 Colby Glen Road may still be blocked at the water works. If I find out one way or the other I'll blog here

programme

For those of you who missed it here is the
1st half summer term programme

How many ears soes a scout have?

3. Left, right and orienteers. Thats probably the worst joke I've ever done. Oh well, 3 of our intrepid scouts came along to Colden plantation on Sunday for the orienteering competition on a course that I think could easily be described as 'challenging'. And after just 2 hours they arrived back at the start with 11 out of 12 control points for a credible 4th. (No one mention time penalties, please) Fun was had which is all that really counts and the tea was quite nice.

On yer hike

The best laid plans and all that. We'll when I planned the hike for 7 May I had checked the internet which assured me that this weekends rally wouldn't interfere with out South Barule hike. Yeah, right! Well we have a new hike, one which I checked out on Saturday after a few text messages telling me about road closures. The plan is to meet in Bradda Glen car park for a prompt 8pm start and pick up in Bradda Glen car park after a complete and "fun" circuit of Bradda along the raad ne Follan. It's 90 minutes for me so the scouts should have no trouble and if I remember my camera I'll even post some pics from the hike.
