The weekend after the senior hostel, Hannah and I made a brave decision to go hostelling with the cubs, which is surprisingly energy-consuming. When we reached Larch Hill, the cubs and leaders set off for a small hike, while Hannah and I volunteered to cook dinner. And believe me cooking dinner for 35 people is no easy feat. You should have seen the size of the pots and pans we used.
But dinner wasn't going to take us the amount of time we had, sooooo the pictures below will describe what you can get up to with an industrial roll of tin-foil.

The senior hostel trip was on the 26/27 February. We hiked from the Glendalough carpark, to the hostel in the valley called Glenmalure. It took us about 5 hours, but we had alot of breaks. The ground underfoot was really snowy the whole way up and that made it quite hard to walk in. But we made it eventually, and plenty of fun was had. That hostel always remains my favourite despite the fact it lacks running water, heat or electricity. The evening was spent playing charades by the fire, dinner was cooked in the dimly lit kitchen, by means of a gas hob. The only way of providing light or cooking power in the hostel! Hi- Jinx were high between us all, or me and Aisling at least and I think we finally got to sleep at about 4! Sorry Donna! Another good hostel over and done with :)
Boatwork has also begun, not too long now before we're back on the water. My favourite time of the year!
