Gold Rush weekend at Nowhurst

We heard that there was gold in them there hills and we joined the gold rush to find it. Our summer term camp took us just up the road to Nowhurst. Our gold rush theme was rather overtaken by events when 2nd Bracknell called in to present Jacala with a special award. However, we still had plenty of time for fire lighting, wide games in the woods and of course our camp fire.

  • All quiet at Nowhurst. That will change at 7pm when the gold rush starts pic.twitter.com/PfAEW6XKpL
  • Dark on the field now but still rather too much noise from the Cub tents. Lights out pic.twitter.com/WLh1XxmPdc
  • The thought of gold was too much for the residents of Rattlesnake Gulch who unwisely decided that 4.30am was a good time to disturb us
  • Sunshine and showers for breakfast – along with sausages, hoops and waffles of course pic.twitter.com/QmGtxStT01
