A night of wind and rain

We returned to site last night and were welcomed by gale force winds
and driving rain.

After a warm drink and piece of cake the kids went to bed early
(10am). With in 10 minutes all the kids were tucked up in warm dry
sleeping bags and tents - my leaders sadly were soaked to the skin
after going round making sure all the tents were suitably pegged and
guyed to get the kids through the night. They also stayed up for a
further hour (still soaked and wind swept) to make sure all the kids
were safely fast asleep - my leaders have been amazing this weekend
and have repeatedly put the kids before themselves.

It is thanks to the good quality equipment that the 35th buy that the
cubs had a safe, warm dry night - unlike some of the leaders. This
morning has been dry but still very windy, which made the packing up
good fun.

We're all packed up now and enjoying a wind swept lunch on the great
orme in Llandudno.
