  • Explorers Summer Expedition - Cornwall

    This year the Explorers went to Cornwall near Looe and made their base at a green field site owned by the National Trust. The first part of the week was spent walking the lovely coastline, travelling light with NO tents. Like last year the days were very hot but it was all worth it, as we spent the long evenings on beaches to ourselves, cooking, swimming (washing) and sleeping in our Bivi bags. A few early joggers did give a double take when seeing the bodies all over the beach. 

     

    The middle part of the week was back to base camp learning a few camp craft skills, cooking with herbs and spices, making an outdoor shower, basket weaving and relaxing. 

     

    The last part of our expedition was more relaxed but still sporty and testing with surfing at Newquay, coasteering and a day spent canoeing round Looe Island.
