Senior Expedition
We went on 3-day trip to the Peak District to walk in and explore the National Park. We spent Friday night in
our Scout Hut and then left early on Saturday, arriving in Hathersage at lunch time. We checked out the outdoor
shops and then cooked dinner before having a short walk up to Stanage Edge in the evening.
On the Sunday we set off on a hike to Castleton. For all of the Scouts it was a new challenge to carry all
their kit and food for the next two meals, while covering a resonable distance and negotiating some interesting
terrain. On arrival in Castleton we soon found that our accommodation was not very suitable, so quickly made a
plan B, and were transported back to Hathersage for the night. The Scouts cooked dinner and breakfast again,
and on Monday morning we were dropped off back in Castleton to continue our route to Edale, taking in the
popular Mam Tor on the way.
At the end of the hike we were collected by Elspeth and sorted out getting the kit and Scouts back into their
repective vehicles before heading to Outside at Calver for a hot lunch and then travelling home.
The Scouts are preparing a report on the Expedition as part of their Expedition Challenge, the text of which
should be available here shortly...
