Scouts Winter Camp

On the Friday night we caught the train to Brockley, from where we walked to the 1st New Cross Scout group. They had kindly loaned us their Scout hut for the weekend. As an additional bonus their Scout night is on a Friday and we were able to join in, enjoying some games and craftwork. The following morning we set off, by foot, to the Greenwich Observatory.

Here we are outside of the Observatory with a magnificent rain filled view of London !

We split into two groups, some going to the Maritime museum, whilst this photo shows the other group after having walked under the Thames ( via the Thames tunnel). The Cutty Sark is in the background, to the right of which is the Southern entry point for the Thames tunnel.

We took time out to visit the Cutty Sark , this was very popular and also educational! On returning to the Scout hut, we cooked dinner and settled in for our annual quiz and some games, including the ever popular Hey Harry. The next morning we set off to Downing street.
