Jersey 2007
Scout quotes:
“…as we took off all the leaders fell asleep (they) snored so loudly you could hear them from the other side of the plane. They almost drowned out the noise of the propeller”
“We soon arrived back in Bristol, we were all glad to see our families again but very disappointed that our holiday was over”
“Camp was great for everyone, it was really important – the last camp for some and the first for others.”
There must be over 1 and a half thousand photos, here is a small selection of them:

Wednesday 22nd August
Departure from Bristol International Airport very early in the morning….
Excellent views from the plane over the southwest of England and Jersey itself (rather small isn’t it…). Upon debarking the plane the stewardesses make a very complementary comment towards the Scouts, funny that I thought we were the only ones on the plane…
Weather in Bristol was glorious, arriving in Jersey it was, well, awful – windy and cold with threat of rain, which it did later in the afternoon in biblical proportions. Here we go another typical 62nd camp…

Explore St Helier, walk to Le Corbiere Lighthouse
The weather continued it’s miserable theme in the morning and a decision was made to visit St Helier today instead of tomorrow. Anita and Ayesha also arrived at the airport, we were now upto full quota…
Parking in St Helier is worse than Tesco Value corn flakes for breakfast. However, when Lee and I were negotiating their compicated system a complete but entirely nice stranger appeared from no where to explain how it all worked and also offered us some free parking cards. It worked out he had spotted our minibus (which was to become famous) and was a cub leader from elsewhere on the Island. Very nice these Jersey people…
Le Corbiere lighthouse was stunning, the ice creams weren’t bad either… We even had a little paddle…
Congratulations to Charlie and Izzy for their excellent t-shirt design:
