Benjours 144-148 Scouting fest

Greetings comrades .. a quick blog update before tomorrow when I fly to Glasgow, meet with Tony C and we embark on the Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon this weekend... we find out the location at midday today... will update the blog with details for interest! We're running the B course if memory serves.

Spent the Queen's weekend ensconced at our Scout District Jamboree - it was fantastic, save for the fact I left my Garmin charging at home (!).. Classic British weather for the weekend - some sunshine, blustery, windy, lots of rain... to make it easier for the security guards I didn't keep running in and out of camp, I clocked laps around the big fields after dark after we'd finished serving 570 hungry mouths dinner both nights - the rain meant I didn't need a shower afterwards! Tweaked my right ankle again on the field. Feels like there is general weakness in the ankle now, which I'm hoping holds out for this weekends mountain fest..

Jamboree was amazing - Kayaking/Shooting/Swimming/Archery/Assault Courses/ Bungee/Zorbing/Segway courses yadayadayada all sorts of things going on - I was there on Sat and Sunday until Monday morning and was knackered by the time I left! Oliver my son is in Beavers and he had his first overnight stay away from mum and dad (I was camping on the same site, but I'm a scout leader, not a Beaver Leader :-) I think they finally made it to sleep about midnight - Wife collected him on Sunday morning and tells me he was asleep by 4pm, then woke up two hours later, crying that he wasn't allowed to stay at camp again that night - sign of a good camp I feel!
