Back to normal...

Well, I say normal but it was another off the cuff evening...

The four whom are entering operation starling were off and about doing a small hike from Belchamps to our hall via some backlanes and paths. It shouldn't take much more than an hour, but they started late because two of the kids turned up at the hall rather than at Belchamps and were late at that.

The rest stayed behind and learnt a little first aid (recovery position), how to read contour lines and plan a sensible route and played several games run by the young leader.

Quarter of an hour after flag down, the four off hiking (accompanyed by leaders) still hadn't arrived back and the search team were sent out. After the third attempt they were found walking down Hall road (adjacent to our hall) and they were somewhat covered in mud, stagnant water and sweat. They were almost lynched when they walked in covering the freshly swept floor.
