Old favorites….a chalk chase
Despite of (or should that be in spite of) the weather forecast, Cubs went out on a chalk chase last night. Even Ka probably remembers doing chalk chases when he was a Cub…. It’s very simple – the first Six go out, walk a route and leave chalk marks on the ground for the following group to follow. We leapfrog groups so everyone takes a turn to set the route. Last night, we were up and down Sun Street, through St Marys, down William Ransom Way, through Bancroft Rec and back to Christchurch via the swimming pool. Setting an ambush is all part of the fun.
Kite flying or tent pitching…?
The weather got the better of us, so instead of practising pitching tents on a very blustery Butts Close, we pitched tents inside Christchurch and used duct tape instead of tent pegs. Cubs learnt the golden rules of tent-pitching: check for stones and sticks before laying out the tent; always push the poles, never pull; shoes off inside the inner tent and use your pole bag to check the canvas will fit back in the bag.
