Cubs hike to Slievenamon

20 May 2015

Well cubs are off again it's Saturday the 16th of May and we're going to  hike  Slievenamon mountain. This is going to be a tough one but the cubs are up for the challenge first challenge trying to find where the mountain is it's a fairly big Mountain so you think I would be able to find it.lesson learned I have decided to follow the sign posts next time we go and  not randomly guess like I did this time. Off we go there is a smaller number going this time and after many " are we nearly at the top of the Mountain" we arrived 1/4 of the way up much to the disgust of Charlotte who thought you we were at the top already allwell time for a quick break. Half way up now and the wind is starting to pick up a bit time for another 5 minute break and a quick photo shoot. Ok we are nearly there now I'm glad that it is not a race because myself and  Frances would definitely have lost. Yes we have made it. wow what a view and the wind is really strong as well time for lunch and to wish Frances Happy Birthday 60 today and yes you guessed it have some cake. The cubs are still climbing around Like mountain goats yes I mean you mattee and now for a quick play round and photos it's time to head down and no there is no cable car to take you down Owen with Tadhg and Frances bringing up the rear we arrived down the mountain. With some very very tired kids although Caleb and Rachel were willing to climb it again ok home time next up Friday night the circus what do your kids do for 4 hours on a Saturday scouts for the time of their lives.
