Plucky Scouts take on chilly challenge
Scout groups in the High Peak district held their Chilly Challenges at various venues, but around 30 scouts from the 3rd and 1st Buxton scouts camped at Gradbach scout camp last Saturday night.
To give the scouts an opportunity to test their expedition skills the 3rd Buxton pitched lightweight hiking tents before cooking their expedition type foods for an evening meal and breakfast on methylated spirit burning stoves.

The temperatures at Gradbach were unseasonal, circa 12 degrees Celcius, which unfortunately brought the rain, hence a wet and muddy challenge rather than a chilly one.
