Images from a stunning week in the Lake District. High pressure prevailed and initially it looked like it might even be too wintry (but the snow cleared). We expeditioned from Stonethwaite to Honister via Stake Pass and Styhead Pass covering some interesting ground on the way. The assessment consists of an initial navigation day, a 'mountain day' which includes steep ground and a two night expedition. The Candidates were also asked to prepare a presentation on a variety of mountain subjects: these ranged from 'theories of the origins of neolithic stone circles' to 'mountain fauna in the style of Blockbusters'. Congratulations to all six candidates who prepared well and passed.

Sounds like an exceptional lending hand into the world of adventure. I think alot of boys who go into the Scouting orgainzation in the USA are looking to do trips like this but more often than naught it falls short (way short). Probably another reason why the Scottish are foreleaders in adventure and will continue to be for generations.
