SEDAN CHAIR RALLY 2011 http://www.sedanchair.org.uk/ 21-23 October 2011.
Please check the website J
This is Arctic Fox’s first year at the Sedan Chair Rally and who knows...we could be winners!
We will be camping with three other units....
Cook from Twickenham
Phoenix from Kenilworth
And another that I can’t remember!
All in all, there will be 37 Explorers in our camp! This will enable you to make new friends and get more of an idea about the race as the other explorers will have done this race a few times.
I will be travelling down during the day to get the main tents put up with leaders from the other units before everyone arrives.
When you arrive, you will need to get your tents put up and start having fun. Please ensure you arrive in half uniform (shirt and necker)
There will be time between activities on the Saturday to put the finishing touches to your chair.
Please note- one of the bases during the race is a water base. We won’t know what the actual activity is until the weekend.
Kit list :
Uniform (travel in uniform and neckers to be worn at ALL times during the weekend)
Sleeping bag / sleeping mat / sleeping bag liner if you have one.
Warm clothes for sleeping in (including a warm hat – It will be cold at night!)
Torch (preferably head torch)
Activity clothes (it may be muddy – bring Boots/Wellies).
Football boots/hockey boots could be good for running the race in if the ground is soft.
