District Cheshire Hike Practice 2

22nd January 2022 @ 9:30 am - 23rd January 2022 @ 10:00 am

£5.00

This is a, ‘day hike’ open to all Scouts & Explorers in the District regardless of whether or not they intend to enter the Cheshire Hike. There will also be an opportunity to camp over night, cook an evening meal and a hot breakfast will be provided. Tents and Sleeping bags will be transported to the finish so participants can get used to walking a fair distance and practice navigating without being laden with lots of kit. Participants can walk in teams of 2- 5 people.

It’s a great opportunity to practice for Cheshire Hike, get outdoors and practice your navigation. Participation can contribute to a number of badges.

Pickup Sunday, 10:00 Queen Charlotte’s Wood
