I spent the weekend as a Checkpoint Monkey on Ilkley Moor (Baht ‘At) it was mostly successful. and it only started really raining about lunchtime today. Some of the checkpoints were quite pleasant places to sit and read for an hour in the sun….
Last night, we thought we had made a breakthrough. I am finding it really hard adapting to the new age ranges that I am “working” with.
We had a moment of revelation. And the guys went off to bed. Two of us sat by the fire. Happy. Things reallywere turning out right.
Then we heard voices. All three had decamped from their tent and were playing on the rope swing. at 11pm.
Gone midnight, I crawled into my tent…..
The good news though remains. They have gone from very little to no map knowledge and ability, to being able to look after themselves on expeditions. the camp craft is about there too. They would certainly put most D of E people I have experienced to shame!
