Tuesday 24th July

Another amazing day with blue sky as far as the eye can see. The standing order today is for sun hats, sun cream and plenty of water. This morning's activity involved the lads building rafts out if various equipment that they had been given, could borrow or scavenge, as well as create a flag to represent their patrol name. The vessels were then sent down stream and judged in their speed, design and 'floatability'. This was followed by burgers(cooked on the open fire by Nick Day) and watermelon for lunch. The second round of the Horner shield is currently underway and we have plans for a fire and singsong this evening. It promises to be another excellent day on camp. I must apologise for not posting any pictures but I am not having much luck persuading my phone to upload pictures onto the website. I will try and think up another solution. A great sackful of post arrived today which I will distribute at evening parade - keep those letters and gifts coming.
