Tonight we took some of the Scouts up to visit the new indoor climbing wall at Goldenhill’s Scout Hut. They’ve just spent a lot of money restoring their building, making it more secure and they’ve installed a new indoor climbing wall.
We went as our Assistant Scout Leader is working towards his indoor climbing certification and needs to log some hours. We shared the evening with some Scouts from Audley as their Leader was running the climbing.
The Scouts from both Troops had a great time as they each had a go at bouldering, climbing and belaying.
Once the Scouts had all had a go, I was able to have a quick climb. I only had one go, but it was good fun. However, on the way down, the person belaying, let the rope go a bit too quick, so I landed on the mat on my back and was giggling my head off!
Me lying on the floor!
The rest of the Leaders joked that it wasn’t a mistake, but a deliberate way to get rid of a Group Scout Leader. At least I think they were joking!
