It was a cold but beautifully sunny February morning when four intrepid scouts set out

free website hit counter
on their expedition hike from the Scout base at the Methodist Church in Harpur Hill to Gradbach. Carrying their tents, food, clothes, bedding and cooking equipment they set off on the 7 mile hike. 

At Gradbach, they set up camp and waited for the big freeze to set in. Temperatures reached -7 șC, the tents were covered in ice outside and in! 

The following morning they broke camp and walked back to Harpur Hill... a little more slowly than they walked the day before.

Well done to all four scouts.
