District Cheshire Hike Practice 3

This is the first of three, ‘two day hikes’ open to all Scouts & Explorers in the District participating in the Cheshire Hike.
It’s a great opportunity to practice for Cheshire Hike and Participation can contribute to a number of badges. For younger participants Tents and Sleeping bags will be transported to the finish so participants can get used to walking a fair distance and practice navigating.
Start location and finish will be announced nearer the time.
