Six scouts, nine Explorers and eight leaders enjoyed a fabulous week down in the New Forest, staying on a small site near Chandlers Ford. We hiked in the rain, went shopping, mountain biked around the New Forest for a day and spent a morning in a Swimming complex. One day was spent kayaking and paddle boarding in Christchurch Harbour. Another day we visited Ferny Crofts Scout campsite to do zip wire, axe throwing and rifle shooting. The Scouts and Explorers cooked most of their meals on open fires all week. The weather was glorious (apart from the Sunday), everyone had a fabulous time and there was a lot of laughter. Great week, thank you all.
