SURVIVAL BIVVI CAMP! 3rd-4th July 2010

You should all have recieved your bivouac camp letter last Tues (sorry I wasn't there, I was at a leaders meeting)- If you're coming get it filled in and back to me a.s.a.p because I need to let the camp know the numbers.
Bivouac-ing is an essential part of the survival skills badge so should you attend and participate well you will gain a badge from the weekend - bonus!
REMEMBER this is not a camp like our previous ones, you will not be fed unless you cook and prep it yourselves, you will not sleep in a dry warm tent, you will not be eating at tables and benches, you will get dirty, you will have to work BUT as 1st Whittington ALWAYS does - you will have a laugh!!!!!!!
You only need minimal kit of a bivouac bag, a waterproof, warm sweater, toothbrush, sleeping bag etc. You probably won't even get changed all weekend - when we did this camp previously everyone went home dirty and smelling of smoke but had made some great memories - I can still see James's splattered (stuck to the billy can) eggs!!!
Don't worry if you feel such a camp is not for you, we're just giving you an opportunity, only take it if you really want to and can cope with being outdoors 100%.

As leaders we're all looking forward to it, sleeping in a plastic bag is such fun!!!
