Coming second in the The Boot Trophy (and only 8 minutes behind the winners!).
A massive congratulations to all who took part - everyone who attempted the walk this year completed it, which is a first, and we had a team complete in daylight, which threw some of our organisation into disarray somewhat (apologies to all who helped on the Checkpoint for the lack of fuel for the generator for an hour or so after it got dark - oops).
Congratulations also go to those members of Intrepid who took part in the junior Chase Walk (the winning team there had three members of Intrepid in!), those Scouts from Buckholt (who formed the rest of the winning team amongst others) and from Glyn who took part in the Junior Chase Walk (and who all completed it).
Also mentioned in dispatches need to be the teams who completed the Chase Walk from Drake ESU (one of whom came second in The Rock Trophy), from Mallory ESU, from Simpson ESU, and the Leaders Teams from Buckholt and 6th Shirley.
All told - a top weekend. Thanks guys.

Chase Walk
19/03/09 23:00
There have been a
couple of ‘phone calls tonight about missing
booklets, so we’ve uploaded all the information
(including a kit list and Activity Form) to the
Documents section. There’s a copy of the Chase Walk
handbook itself on their website at
http://www.chasewalk.fsnet.co.uk/Chase%20Walk%202009%20Handbook.pdf.
See you tomorrow!
(PS - it’s going to be cold at night - make sure you’ve got a decent sleeping bag or bring two...)

Skiing!
18/01/09 20:30
Okay - you spoke, we
listened. Now we need you to act...
As a result of the interest expressed in skiing / boarding on Thursday, we’re proposing the following. We’ll travel up to Aviemore Saturday 14 February, and then ski / board Sunday thru’ Wednesday. We’ll travel down to the Lake District Thursday, arriving back in Solihull on the Friday (20 February). Same as before, except that there’s no “day off” in the middle.
And the cost? IF people have been skiing or snowboarding before, AND they can demonstrate a level of competence, then they won’t need instruction - and the cost will be £260. For those that will need instruction, the cost will be an additional £100 on top of that. Apologies - it’s an expensive business - but the cost does include transport, accommodation (in a Youth Hostel), food, ski / board hire, four day lift passes, so this is as cheap as we can realistically make it. If you have your own skis / board, let Andy know, and we’ll see if can reduce the price further.
There’s already limited availability at Aviemore Hostel on the Saturday night, so we need to move quickly. Consequently, those that want to go need to complete an on-line booking here by the start of Explorers on Thursday night. We’ll then be booking the accommodation Friday morning, so there won’t be any opportunities for late booking.
In terms of the cost, please do talk to Andy if you want to spread the cost, as we do appreciate that there’s a slight lack of notice here... As ever, any questions to andy@explorerscout.net.

food.
AND IF YOU’VE GOT ANY OF OUR EQUIPMENT AT HOME - COMPASSES, REFLECTIVE JACKETS, BIVVY BAGS, ETC - PLEASE BRING THEM ALONG ON THURSDAY...
