Night Hike

Where: Start + Finish @ Harmer Green
When: Saturday 1st November @ 1900 hours (7 pm)
Team-Name: "Pugwash 6"
What To Bring: This is not a kit-list as such, but from experience I suggest you take the following things:

  • Compass!!
  • Multiple layers of warm clothing
  • Waterproof top, and if available waterproof overtrousers
  • Hiking Boots (NOT trainers) + Thick Socks
  • Sweets! (Jelly cubes also work)
  • Sleeping Bag + Roll mat
  • Emergency Mobile Phone (to go in envelope as emergency phone, 1 per team)
  • Hat, Gloves and Scarf as appropriate!
  • Medium Size rucksack (not a great big hiking bag, you do not have to carry sleeping bag etc)


Results:

Despite the Rain before, after and during the hike a good time was had by all. I am planning to upload some form of map with the checkpoint locations marked as I have a laminated copy, but for now I have made a copy of the results given to the team leaders earlier today. It can be viewed at:

Google Document

You should not have to download the file at all as Google documents allows files to be viewed online. If you would like a copy of the excel file I would be happy to post a further link.

sugar cubes also work and by multiple clothing is meant as a shirt a jumper and a waterproof, for example, which can be removed if things get to hot

also however well you do on e the hike, DO NOT have a 'party' in the tent, other will want to sleep, you'll proably be shouted at and damage stuff u may have to fix afterwards

i learned that the hard way :-(
