Gradbachscoutcamp

Just 2 weeks on Friday until we welcome Scout & Explorer Scout teams to the 41st Border Hike at @Gradbachscouts. As of this evening we are now at capacity for entries, a brilliant response & we are thrilled at the thought of so many teams competing in our unique incident hike.

A brilliant St Georges Day ceremony earlier today by one of the groups, (Bakewell ESU / @PeakScouting ) staying at @Gradbachscouts this weekend. I bet it raised a few raised eyebrows of any walkers passing through Three Shires Head !

A gorgeous blue sky morning, ideal for a walk etc, but don't even think of using it to drive and visit the area around @Gradbachscouts. The road below Flash is still blocked with waist high snow drifts !
