 2nd  Reading Company : Beacon’s Challenge 2013
8am Friday 12th to approx 6pm Sunday 14th April 
For  inters,  company & senior  sections

Picture
Pen Y Fan, the highest point in the UK south of Scafel Pyke in the lake district. We’ll be staying  for 2 nights on the foothills – in a  ‘Bunkhouse’ (which has dorms of 4 or 6 beds - bunks - toilets , showers, a kitchen lounge & dining area - and heating.) See photos from previous years on the website.

As well as the Gorge Walking  we’ll  have challenging  but rewarding hikes and bike rides and wide games. 

We have dedicated & experienced cooks again this year!!

We will also have fun playing wide games; board games ; watching films on the big screen etc..

We'll also be inspired by the life and teaching of one the worlds greatest ever leaders - Moses - and what as men we can learn from him.

We have reduced the price to £40: cheques to 2nd Reading Boys Brigade

What to Bring 
·  A helpful & positive attitude. All boys will have to take their turns at cooking, washing up, making packed lunches etc. 
·  A bike – not all boys will be bringing bikes this year – we’ll arrange this separately-  but Helmets will be needed – !  
·  A rucksack /day sack will be needed – robust enough for….
·  A 1 litre water bottle with your name on – last year boys were almost fainting in the heat on the 12 mile walk  – carrying enough water is your responsibility !  None is available en route. 
·  Suitable clothes & footwear for cycling & walking  in possibly cold, wet & windy conditions. Gloves, waterproofs  etc.
·  Ideally an old pair of trainers & clothes  for use in the stream/river.
·  A sleeping bag -   ( You’ll be on a bed –pillows are provided)
·  Suitable amount of clothes for 2 days & activities
·  Towel/ wash bag (there are showers)  & any medication (see below)
·  A book , simple board/card games for chill times
·  Some  snacks for the trips/ at night etc. – Cash for snacks – we’ll be stopping at the services  on the way down – but see opposite.
A packed lunch for Friday & a cake to contribute to the group.

What Not to Bring
·  Any   electricals of any type – no mobiles/ ipods/ DS’s etc– we could stay at home to do that – Leaders have mobiles if contact is needed.  Stuff will be confiscated on sight.  (Despite this warning one boy last year spent much of the w/e looking for his expensive gadget. Don’t bring it !).
·  Any  Energy drinks (includes any soft drinks which contains caffeine- eg. Coke,   Mountain Dew etc). These are harmful and will be confiscated and binned . 
·  Excessive soft fizzy drinks &  sugar laden sweets – some is fine -  lot’s are not and will be confiscated.
We know the boys will have some fun at night-and probably get to sleep later than normal – but night time is primarily for sleeping – these will be high energy
days.
