Joe's Night Hike



As a seconder in Cubs, Joe was allowed to take part in this year's night hike. Here he is with his friend, Adam. They set off at 6pm from the country park and walked to Scalford before heading across to the cubs camping ground at Holwell. They arrived at around 10pm when they had pizza and hot chocolate! (Joe and Adam also had a midnight feast of M&Ms later on in bed).
The cubs slept in a hut - the girls had camp beds and the boys had the floor (so much for equality!) Joe was looking surprisingly alert the next day, despite having only around 5 hours' sleep.
I won 10p in a bet with Luke (who had hated the night hike when he did it a few years ago). He bet that Joe wouldn't enjoy it and lost the bet because Joe told us he had a wonderful time. In fact, he said he wished he was doing it all over again on Sunday evening!
