Last Thursday saw Jack and Adam pack their rucksacks and head off on their practise expedition. An excellent opportunity to get a bit of practise in! It also gave Dave, Ash and I a chance to be out for 3 days in the sunshine too. The boys had to cover about 50 km over the three days they were out and cope with the hot weather! It is only going to be hotter in the Alps! Lots of new kit between the 5 of us too!!
The best bit of the trip.... possibly when Jack asked for water when stood next to the water container. I kindly helped him out by suggesting that the hot water tap was down the other end of the field by the third tallest tree.... 15 minutes later he returned after not having found it. One of the other kids kindly told him it was there and so he headed off again to look further down the field. After over 20 minutes he finally had to admit defeat and tell me he couldn't find it!!!!
We'll need to make sure we camp lots closer to all those running hot water taps in the Alps!!!!
Report from Jack or Adam coming soon...
