Overland Practice Checkpoint 9


The team arrived at the previous CP at 11.49am and had lunch then did the challenge. Knotting and pioneering seems to be a weakness all-round so we spent some time on sheer lashings,square lashings, clove hitches, round turn 2 half hitches, sheet bends and bowlines. Whether it will all stay in their minds until next weekend remains to be seen!

They left at 1.02pm and went up the chalk pit and over Wolstonbury Hill. I am now waiting for them near the Jack and Jill pub - it is pretty flat from here and now the sun is out they are all warm and happy!
