Was at Blahh but you too now ^^

nahh i dont want to be a leader or anything...barely made it myself (lack of map/ landscape co-ordination in the pouring rain i think :biggrin:

)

its great fun though! ill definately finish it in uni i think...

we did all our expeditions in the brecon beacons....well known for dodgy weather...the one day we had rain, snow, severe gales, sleet, hailstones and sunshine!

i wanted to do a horse riding trek for silver final expedition....but no one would come with me :frown:

The breacon beacons. Brrrrr. Were off to Arran this summer. I don't like the look of the hills. Horse riding. I ride and I would do it with you ^^

looool it wasnt the cheapest option either...despite the fact i would have been able to 'aquire' horses to take from a few mates :p:

When TSR confirms my soc, would guys like to join?

i did gold a few years ago - we were supposed to go to arran, but it was too costly, so we went to the north yorkshire moors instead, heartbeat country!!! :smile:

We did exploration too - expedition seemed like too much hard work!

Can't remember exactly! lol! It was around 4 years ago! I think we started in goathland aka Aidensfield, and went towards the sea, and then back... a big circle. Went through some woods.... don't really remember! Yep - tons of sheep!

heheh so none in the tent ehh?? One of our members spilt meths all in the tent :banghead:

Luckily the leader had a spare

~Kirsty~

We had way too much meths!!! Our leader made us empty our bags before we went cos she said they were too heavy - we said we could manage - and we did!
