Hayling Lion Troop win Great Escape

Report Date 02/11/09

The great escape is the name given to an overnight challenge hike when the Scout teams not only have to navigate in the dark but also complete challenges around the 9 mile route.

This year 4 teams from Hayling joined others from Havant District and won the overall event by arriving at the designated end, in time and having completed the challenges en route.

As one of the team remarked, winning is great but completing this whole exercise is greater - and if anyone can remember the weather in the early hours of Sunday November 1st I am sure you will agree.

Well done to all of those taking part.
