Gilwell 24 2008 Reports

0900 seem to come to quickly for my liking but we were all up and ready to go! After helping out the wonderful Mandy Morris and Ann Horsey set-up their activity, we were straight off to the 3G swing. A giant swing constructed of no more than a few poles and some thick rope, you're hurtled through the air.

We were swiftly off to wall climbing where a few of us tackled the over hang! The climbing was fun but the day was far but over. We hit the funfair followed by a good ramming session of dodgems!

A quick re-fuel of Krispy Krems doughnuts and some fizzy pop and we were off again wandering the site finding any kind of activity to take part in! We found one, the inflatables! We wrestled and fought and some come came out victorious and some came out beaten, but we had fun none the least!

We completed the Gilwell Marathon (and despite the team consisting of 3 JST members, still came nowhere) but hey it's the taking part that counts!! The night set in and we completed the Gilwell Gauntlet and Jason Morris came first in the speed climbing session smashing everyone with 38 seconds!! Woo.. go Jason!

As the night turned to morning, the faces of the team dropped so another does of food was in order!! Off we traipsed to the cafe where we loaded up on sugar!!

Overall the weekend was packed full of fun just like every year!! Thanks to the Gilwell team behind the event and to Nicola for organising it!
