District Night Hike Report

On the 7th of March 3rd Billericay Orion Scout Troop joined other troops in the district for a 4 mile night hike. We started from 1st Runwell scout hut near Wickford. Each group headed off from a staggered start at 8 o’clock.

Each group had a leader, map, compass and set of questions to answer at each checkpoint. A few of the groups got lost but the weather was okay so this didn’t annoy us too much. Most of it was on public footpaths but some of it was through fields.

When we got back to the scout hut we had hot chocolate and watched a film. Then we spent the night in our sleeping bags on the floor and had a cooked breakfast in the morning before our parents came to pick us up.
