Winter Activity Day
On Saturday 17 January 2015 I
attended a Winter Activity Day which was at Thornthwaite near Pateley Bridge.
The weather was really wintry and it was snowing. However, despite the
cold we all had an awesome day.
The event was organised by Harrogate and Nidderdale
District Scouts and there were lots of Scouts there from all round Harrogate. There
were lots of activities to try- I picked wood engraving, archery. Mountain
biking, crate stacking, cooking and building a rocket. To build a rocket we put
a fuse into a polystyrene chip cone. We decorated it and then lit the fuse with
an ignition box which was electric. The rockets flew into the air.

I also made a bird house out of wood which we
were allowed to take home with us. I
also went bouldering and climbed a cave ladder.
My favourite activities were
making pizza, building a rocket and crate stacking. We were all given hot drinks to keep us going
in the cold. The helpers were really helpful- they even let me make a sugar
free doughnut!!!
The worst part of the day was the
cold weather but it did make it more of an adventure. The parents all said they had their own
adventures driving to get us in the snow!
