District Cheshire Hike Practice 5

12th March 2022 @ 8:30 am - 13th March 2022 @ 3:00 pm

£25.00

This is the final, ‘two day hikes’ open to all Scouts & Explorers in the District participating in the Cheshire Hike.

Its a great opportunity to practice for Cheshire Hike and Participation can contribute to a number of badges. Teams are expected to carry their full kit including Tents and Sleeping bags so participants can get used to walking a fair distance, weight while practice navigating. Participants should ideally walk in the teams of 2- 5 people they intend to enter to the hike with.

Please note there is a flat £25 to attend practice 2, 3 & 4 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, 08:30 District Scout Centre
Finish Saturday, 16:00 Warrington District Scout Campsite
Pickup Sunday, 15:00 1st Moore Scout Hut
