Gilwell winter camp took place from the 10th to 12th January 2020. There was lots of stuff to do during the day and a disco at night. There was so many activities to do during the day including the bag jump, climbing and fun fair rides. The bumper cars offered a short burst of fun as you go crashing into your mates as you speed around the track. Also, there was the 3G swing where your friends pull you up into the air before dropping you into one giant swing. Also, there was a lot of mud everywhere. You couldn’t go anywhere on the site without being greeted by the lovely sight of mud.

On Saturday 18th January we had our annual ‘London Walk’, a long walk from Arnos Grove station all the way to Piccadilly Circus. We set out at 9:00am from the station before walking to Alexandra Palace. From there we walked to Parliament Hill. After the steep trek up you are greeted with a fantastic view of London. From there we walked back down the hill and started to walk again. We walked through several parks and along the London streets. Then we walked to Buckingham Palace and walked down Pall Mall and into Piccadilly Circus where we got the train back to Arnos Grove. In total the walk was over 25km.
