Scout Hike across the Moors

Had a fantastic evening hiking right across Ilkley Moor. The weather held out right until the end and all the scouts kept a good pace.

5km completed, navigation skills practiced, and all scouts in good spirits at the end; a cracking walk for a great evening!

A really tough race and everyone gave their all for a fantastic result! We even got into the Ilkley Gazette
