District Cheshire Hike Practice 3

12th February 2022 @ 8:30 am - 13th February 2022 @ 4:00 pm

£25.00

This is the third practice and the first of three, ‘two day hikes’ open to all Scouts & Explorers in the District participating in the Cheshire Hike. Participants should ideally walk in the teams of 2- 5 people they intend to enter to the hike but if you don’t yet have a team, the events are a great way of meeting people from other groups.

It’s a great opportunity to practice for Cheshire Hike and Participation can contribute to a number of badges.

Please note there is a flat £25 fee to attend practice 3, 4 & 5 whether you attend all of them or just one of them. If you book onto all three at the same time a £50 discount will be applied to the basket. If you book on to just one weekend and then subsequently decide to come to another weekend hike, the website will recognise this and not charge you for the other two weekends (provided you don’t check out as a guest).

Start Saturday, 09:30 TBC
Finish Saturday, 15:00 Queen Charlotte’s Wood
Pickup Sunday, 10:00 TBC
