We will be leaving The Venue Car Park, Elstree Way, Borehamwood at 8am on Saturday 23rd October.
We will be travelling directly to our cycling/walking activity, so please ensure that suitable trousers and footwear are worn for cycling/walking and the journey. The scout shirt and neckerchief should be worn over a t-shirt to allow for changing on arrival.

Spending Money
I suggest a maximum of £25, for use at motorway service stations, Alton towers and a café on the walk. Note that your child will need to buy their own lunch in Alton Towers.
If you would like the leaders to look after your child’s spending money, please put it in small change in an envelope marked with your child’s name and hand it to myself prior to departure.
