2nd Onchan Phoenix Scouts Watertrough Cottage Camp

Patrol Leaders and Assistant Patrol Leaders from 2nd Onchan’s Phoenix Troop held a short overnight camp at the Groups Bunkhouse Watertrough Cottage over the the 29. – 30. January 2011. Watertrough Cottage is located in South Barrule Plantation and we made good use of what the Plantation has to offer. On the Saturday afternoon, the Scouts spent a couple of hours mountain biking round the various trails and after dinner, they were off again this time in the dark (and cold). The Scouts also got to use a Volcano Kettle to boil water. On the Sunday morning they built bivouac shelters before heading off home just before lunch time.
