We set off at nine(ish) on Saturday morning, making really good time up until we reached the footpaths near Silkstone. Several stiles, deep mud and a fence or two later we managed to get onto the campsite.
Sadly, due to the extremely laid back manner in which the Scouts set up camp (it was meant to be a relaxing weekend!) we never made it to Penistone show. Not that anyone minded as they were busy whizzing around the woods on their bikes!
The Scouts soon returned as the night drew in and everyone started to get a little hungry...jacket spuds and a bit of a BBQ soon sorted that out. The Scouts then did their usual "Will they, wont they" routine in regards to sleeping in the Bivvy they had built. Amazingly however, a few of them actually stayed the night (well...until 6am!) in the shelter!
In what seemed like no time at all it was time to "leisurely" pack up camp and set off on the long journey home. All the Scouts did really well riding back...it's a shame I couldn't manage the same feat!
Thanks to all the Scouts who came along, if you missed out don't worry as the next adventure is already in the pipeline...watch this space!
