Having missed the morning of the first day to a hall function the night before and the need for my daily allowance of sleep. I turned up at Nanpanton scout hut. I am gutted as I missed the drama of the place being double booked with the Beaver fun day.
I soon found myself folding and labelling tents. We found ourselves in the rather annoying situation of having several tents in pieces, four people and it started to rain. (How many times does this happen on camp). After that we decided the battle plan for the next day and went home for Dinner.
A short time later we were in the union at comedy club and there featured guest who I can not remember. May have been Timmy mallet. No yes it was, I also seamed to remember wearing a certain girls drink. (if you want to give me a drink in sheer adoration, you can hand it to me as so I can drink it. There is no need to throw it at me)
The next morning we were up and in the hut again sorting out all sorts of things from mouse eaten ropes to tents with poles missing. We had a bonfire to get rid of all the burnable stuff and we managed to clear some of the overgrow weeds around the hut as well. This has another advantage, we found ourselves the campfire master for the rally, yes you know who you are. Having successfully mated canvas to poles, lids to pots, made complete trangias and sorted the “chaff from the wheat”. We started to put the gear back in the stores.
