Again based at Dunfield Farm, Kington - October 2016.

Everyone up at 7am, breakfast and away by 8am.

Arrived at Aberystwyth at 10:00am. We all walked around town - some of us shopping but also to get worms for our bait.

The weather was good - sunny & mild.

We started our crab fishing in the harbour at 11:00am. We did not catch as many crabs as before but everyone had a good time. Although one leader was screaming - too crawly! These crawly crabs could even get from one bucket to another - obviously helped by the Seniors!? 

Left for Borth at 12:15pm. Arrived at 12:30 and had our packed lunch. We even had a hot drink using a portable stove and a couple of conveniently flat stones this time!

After lunch, the Scouts set up their own fishing rods (with help from our experienced angling leader) and off they went on to the beach and shallow waves to fish.

The Scouts really enjoyed the experience of fishing in the sea. They were in and out of the water, sometimes past their knees!

By 6:00pm, having packed the kit away, changed into dry clothes and having had another hot drink, we went back to Kington.

We arrived back at 7:30pm and had dinner of fabulous pasta by 8:15.

At 9:30pm we had a fire (which only took one match - Well done, Scouts!) in the yard and roasted marshmallows. 

We all turned in at 11:00pm after a tiring but very enjoyable day.

The following morning the Scouts helped make their own drop scones for breakfast.
