Lost Wheel - No Problem

Report Date 21/09/08

To gain the Chief Scout’s Gold Award, the top award for the Scout section, each Scout must complete a Personal Challenge.

Will Nelson, Luke Rigden, Calum Ferrier and Max Jones shown in the picture decided to accept a challenge from Ed Harrison to take a Trek Cart around the Langstone Harbour Walk in record time. Inspired by the annual walk organised by the Lions Club Association, Ed challenged the 4 Scouts to beat 4 hours and 30 minutes for the 15 mile route.

What wasn’t planned as part of the challenge was for one of the wheels falling off the cart about 1 mile from the end but the four Scouts kept going with just one wheel on their wagon. Well done to all of them for eventually completing the route in 4 hours 37 minutes.
