Eastrek 2011 will take place over the Easter Weekend of Friday 22 April to Monday 25 April in the New Forest.
Due
to the success of 1st Finchampstead’s recent “Eastrek”
expeditions
we will be running the event again in Easter 2011. The hike will be
held in the New Forest and will run over the Easter weekend
This is suitable for all abilities and experiences. We stay in a large building with good facilities. Scouts are spilt into groups and they plan their hike for the following day. Each has a turn leading the group and map reading under the guidance of a leader (if required). This event is organised by David Judge, Group Scout Leader.
There
will be two elements to the trip this year. The more experienced walkers will
do a point to point hike where they will stay at different sites over the
weekend, meeting up at Fernycrofts Scout Camp site for one of the evenings.
For
the less experienced walkers we will base ourselves at Fernycrofts and do day
hikes from the site. Scouts will be accommodated in a bunk house.
The
aim of this weekend is to give the scouts the opportunity of developing their
navigation skills, enjoy the outdoors and work towards several badges.
Costs
will be dependent on the number of scouts partaking in the event. The approximate cost will be £60 but an exact
figure will follow soon.
To
help us organise expenses please fill out and return the slip back to us by the
19th February 2011. With a non returnable deposit of £20 made
payable to 1st Finchampstead Scout Group
