DISTRICT CROSS COUNTRY WEEKEND 2008
Over a weekend in March, which concluded with the Districts Annual Cross Country run being held, Gravesham Explorers camped overnight. On the Saturday they serviced all the canoes which they will be using during the year. They also carried out service works which involved clearing brambles and planting trees.
On the Sunday morning more trees were planted, other Explorers acted as hares, guides and course markers for all the other races. They then held their own race and then Explorers and Leaders competing in the all comers race. Fortunately no pictures exist of some leaders! The first two finishers in the Explorers race finished first and third in the all comers race, seperated only by a leader from Sputnik.
Other Explorers were performing their Young Leader role, with the relevant section.
