Wet, wet, wet

Whilst yesterday was a fairly good day, with most people evidencing a touch of the sun, today is the exact opposite. Dry all night, it started raining about ten minutes after we got up and hasn't let up since.

Tents need to start coming down today so there'll be a lot of drying to do and so on when we get back, but the Scouts are all still enjoying themselves and hopefully tonight's campfire should round things off nicely for everyone.

We had planned to build a bridge over the river whilst we were here, but the distance from bank to bank and the fact the level is constantly changing made us scrap that idea. Instead we built a ten foot high tower with a sleeping platform on top, and last night two of the explorers slept up there under the shelter of a tarpaulin.

If you're wondering why we haven't posted any pictures, its because this connection is very, very slow. We'll add them when we get back to Edinburgh tomorrow
