Day 7 – Christmas Day in an evening!

The last full day of Compass Camp 2015 began with the usual whistle and wake up call of “Morning Campers”, the start of a day that was going to end in a very unusual way with a Christmas Day experience. Before the evening there were other last events for this year’s camp. Firstly the morning meeting […]

Day 6 – Christmas Eve!

It’s Christmas Eve! Today we woke to rain, probably as close to snow as we’ll get in August, which soon cleared to a breezy yet sunny day; perfect weather for the day’s adventures of canoeing and gorge-scrambling (or gully-bashing or ghyll-scrambling – take your pick!).
