We're up and running!

The advance party left at 10.30 this morning in glorious sunshine and arrived at Horner at about 15.00 this afternoon. Unlike those of us still in London they report blue skys and puffy clouds. I spoke to Michael and Catriona who tell me that the site is like Lords cricket ground, the river is babbling along gently and all is well.

The store tents and general meeting areas have been erected, as well as tents for the 18 HQ on site tonight.

As I type they are tucking into sausage, egg and chips at the Old Chapel before retiring back to Horner for a glass of beer and bed. No scouts tonight but a hard day of work ahead of them tomorrow - they'll need their sleep!

If you want your son to recieve some post on the first three days of camp you might want to put a letter or parcel in the post tomorrow!

More tomorrow!
