Hiking Weekend
9th November 2008
Hiking can be an excellent activity for Scouts, not only from a physical fitness aspect but also to encourage them to develop the skills of planning, teamwork and leadership.
So, with that in mind, the Scouts were dropped off at Otford Station and hiked the nine or so miles back to the Scout Hut (which was the furthest some had ever walked in their lives).
Along the way we had to cross the M25 subway “ford”.
