1st Finch at KISC

I'm actually back home from Kandersteg now, but catching up on posts :)

Towards the end of the season my group, 1st Finchampstead, visited for a couple of weeks which was really awesome. It was great to see some familiar faces out there and to get to show the Scouts the wonders of Kandersteg.

One of the things I was looking forward to all season is a few of the group coming out on a Glacier Workshop with me. I really enjoyed taking them out onto the ice and showing them what I'd been doing all season. Some of the Scouts I've known since they were about 9, and they're really great kids so it was awesome to see them having such a great time. 

The group was staying in the Tower, which is at the end of the campsite. I think it's one of the better places to stay at KISC, especially for bigger groups like mine (we had 53 people staying). It's on the campsite but it has a really nice bunkhouse to stay in and a big communal area with a kitchen. Anyway, I got some pictures of the guys at dinner time (Izzy was really tired!).

Finally I've got some pictures from a hike up in the Gasternal valley (actually it much was a guided Gasternal hike). It was really good fun to take them up and show them around, and to see the real mountains. We also had some fun at Selden, messing around on the cool little bowling alley, trampoline and bouldering rock.
