Our planned microlighting session during camp unfortunately had to be cancelled. After a quick reassessment of our weekend, we decided to relocate the camp to Hamlet Wood scout campsite near Maidstone.

The camp was a patrol camp, with scouts doing just about all the catering for the whole weekend, including cooking for leaders!

We tried a somewhat different menu for a change.

• Supper: Sausage-in-a-bun, hot chocolate
• Breakfast: Full English (choice of egg, beans, mushrooms, bacon, sausage, toast/eggy-bread)
• Lunch: Chicken or haloumi fajitas followed by campfire doughnuts
• Dinner: Spaghetti, tomato sauce and meatballs and pineapple fritters for desert
• Sunday Breakfast: Breakfast burritos
• Eleven o’clock snack: Smores

We did manage to squeeze some activities in-between the cooking and eating – we threw tomahawks, ran a catapult shooting gallery (only tin cans and chickpeas were hurt) and ran some wide games.

We have masses of photos and videos – there are a sample below but you can view them all in the shared album
