What I enjoyed the most was Absailing and rockclimbing and caving. The food I liked was cooked on a fire but I did’nt like the bananas, what I did’nt enjoy was hiking and tent inspection. My favourite pudding was the apple crumble.

My time at Cub Camp was a really adventurous time. I really enjoyed rock climbing and caving but the caving was a little squashy when we were in a place called the Sardine Chamber. It was packed with cubs and smelt like its name !!!!!

The Idiotic Indians were at the climbing tower and absailling wall.  , when I was up the climbing side of the tower. I was really scared even though I had done it before. I managed to get right to the top and blow the horn but then I was too scared to absail down.

On Saturday we went caving, then archery and absailing. Caving was brilliant.

Do you want to know why?

Because the instructor took water balloons into the cave and when we got down there we started lobbing water bloons at each other and we got wet. We took revenge by soaking the instructor who was called ‘Dave the Cave’

Thank you to: Akala, Bagy, Jakala, Kaa, Hathi and Baloo.

All the cubs sat around the campfire and sang funny songs. I like the song Charlie and the pigeon. The fire was still going the next day.

Thanks to baloo, bagara, Akala, Kaa, Kim and Haithi.

If you want to know what those weird and strong hands are read this.

First we got a free sandpit and pushed our hands in it and finally they started to hurt.

Filling it in with a very strong clay but we waited for 10 minutes until it was hard.

Unfortcherly most of them broke !

On Friday we went to cub camp. As soon as we got there we had to change into old clothes from cub uniform and hang it up. Then we took our bags to our tent. Then we had tea. For Tea we had chicken nuggets, chips, sweetcorn and peas. Then we had to wash up. Then we had to play a wide game which was fun. Then it got dark. Then we went to the hut and had hot chocolate and two biscuits. Then we all got changed did our teeth and went to bed. We fell asleep at 11:00 because of Lewis Payne. The next morning we got changed and went to wash our teeth then we went back to the hut and waited for breakfast. The choices of breakfast were cornflakes, wheatabix and sugar puff. I liked the sugar puffs. Then we had cooked breakfast which was sauges, bacon sweetcorn peas and scrambled egg. Then we washed all the dishes. Then we went and did tent inspection. We rolled up our beds and bags in the middle of the tent and covered them up with the groundsheet. Then we did flag break. Then we went of in our groups and did bivy building in the woods. My group used all natural materials. My group used logs leaves and more leaves. When Akela came to see who the winner was someone was stung by a wasp. Akela brought a jug of water and poured a bit on everybody. Everyone got wet but my group still won. Then we took some wood from our bivy and put it on the fire wood. Then we got more wood and put it on a barbecue. We were going to make lunch. Carrots and onion and potatoes and cornbeef mixed together. My group took a long time to cook. After lunch we went on a hike. We took a quiz with a hundred questions. It took about 3 hours to do. We came second in that. After the hike we did a few wide games, Then we had tea which was hotdogs and for pudding a doughnut or apple crumble. Then we washed the dishes again. Then we went for a group campfire. We sang lots of songs. Then we had hot chocolate and got changed washed teeth and went to bed ZZ zz zz zz…….
