23rd July

Tim out-shone us all! Today we learnt about bushcraft, whittling spoons from silver birch and making fire from fluff. Sadly the only truly successful member of the team was Tim. He is now making us a ladle and has produced numerous spoons since. Steve was not far off with his keen whittling skills and fire hands, typical boy games!

Sarah, Katie and Nikki decided to venture forth into the freezing stream for the first wash of the trip. Apparently screams could be hard 800yds away back at base camp! But least we have clean hair.

A “Safety on Steep Ground” day tomorrow. We are heading up the one side of the U-shaped Valley
