Easter weekend saw 40 members of 1st Finch head of to the New Forest for our now traditional Eastrek expedition. We started on the Friday morning in a very wet car park with a 10 mile hike ahead of us. Waterproofs were donned and we headed of in two groups to take separate routes back to Fernycrofts, our base camp for the weekend.

We need to put in names of those Scouts who wish to take part in the Three Towers Hike, which this coming year takes place on Saturday 10th April. Last year was an incredibly successful event for 1st Finch, with a win in the Scout event and second place in the Classic event plus RECORDS for the fastest female scout and fastest finishing Classic pair EVER!

Due to the success of 1^st Finchampstead’s recent “Eastrek” expeditions we will be running the event again in Easter 2010 for both Scout Troops.  The hike will be held in the New Forest and will run over the Easter weekend (April 2nd – 5^th 2010). 

Goldinch Scouts had a great time snotubing last night.

The Scouts were even running up the hill to get yet another slide down (the Leaders just polodded gently up)

Pictures of the evening can be seen by clicking on the picture below.

The other half of the troop is continuing next week - hope they don't crash!
