Itinerary For The Border Hike
Weekend
Want to know what to expect during
the weekend? It's all here:
Friday
Arrive on the Friday afternoon or evening and set up
camp
Book in with Hike Control before 11pm!
When booked in your team will be given start times etc
Saturday
Kit check starts at 7am onwards in the yard area
After kit check the teams go to Control in the cottage
to be started at the appropriate time. They are given the
route and an ongoing incident to complete
The teams then go to Incident 1 where the teams plan their
route and have it checked/marked by a member of the sweep
team before leaving site.
The teams
then set off from Gradbach on their hike.
The
teams are set a route that identifies a number of
Checkpoints, Incidents and Via points.
At all
Checkpoints the team will be timed in and asked to sign
that they have been at the Checkpoint.
A number of
Incidents will be set around the course, which the teams
will complete. These may take the form of tasks that test
team work, scouting/guiding, general knowledge or even a
bit of fun!
The route is circular and ends back at
Gradbach where the teams book into Control, hand in the
ongoing Incident and have a nice cup of soup with a bread
roll. All teams are hoped to be back by dusk.
The
evening is then left free for recuperation, trip to the
chip shop etc. We will normally organise entertainment for
Scouts and Scouters. In recent years this has included
live bands and an on-site movie theatre with widescreen
projection and amplified surround sound.
Sunday
At approximately 11am there is Scout Own for all
people involved in the hike held in the open-air chapel at
Gradbach.
Following the Scouts Own (approximately
11.30am) the presentation takes place in the yard where
all teams are rewarded for completing and the winning
teams are presented with the trophies.
All groups
are then free to leave site at their leisure.
