Day 7 — Activity Villages 

Our patrol was one of the patrols on breakfast duties, so we got up a little earlier than everyone else to prepare and cook. On the site, there are 5 different villages: Yggdrasill (faith and belief), Eagle (taking risks), Dragon (arts and

Day 6 — The Quidditch World Cup

We woke up today to attend ‘Wake Up Shake Up’, which was essentially just a performance of traditional dances from different countries. We then had the opportunity to go around program villages, which included a selection of games and activities — most

Day 5 — Shifting Camps

Today, we had a very well-welcomed lie-in until 9:30. It was a very cold night, but it wasn’t a problem as the Australian contingent leader needed a tent for the night, so he shared my ‘two-man’ tent with me. We had a

Day 4 — Community Service, Adrenalin Park, and a lot of Wind! 

I was woken up just before 6:00 this morning by a lot of shouting and panic… It turns out that our mess tent was in the middle of blowing away! We managed to grab the tent before it caused any damage, and

Day 3 — Swimming and Nature Walk

We were once again women up at the delightful time of 6:30 for breakfast — which was, again, porridge! Our patrol weren’t due to leave for our first activity until 9:45 so we were on clean-up duty.  A fun fact: where we’re

Day 2 — The Hike of Broken Legs

Today was the day of our full-day hike, which was unfortunately named Leggjarbrjotur (which means broken legs in English). Our patrol was in charge of preparing the sandwich fillings, but I slept through my alarm so I missed getting up for this!

Day 1 — Opening Ceremony

We were woken up at the delightful time of 6:00 (I didn’t realise that they still made this time of the morning) to get breakfast and packed ready to go to the opening ceremony, followed straight away by the expedition centres. We

A Night in Reykjavik 

We arrived at Menntaskólinn við Hamrahlíð (a local high school) where we set up our beds in what can only be described as a 200-man spoon (a very tightly packed hall full of UK Scouts!). We left at around 19:00 to go

Travelling to Iceland 

The 02:00 alarm wasn’t hugely appreciated by my body, but it’s a small price to pay for going to Iceland (not the shop)! I first travelled with my friend — and Whitley Bay Scout —Rebecca, on a flight from Newcastle to Heathrow,

Packing

Despite the image of my holdall suggesting that I’m going to be travelling to Japan, I’m actually still travelling to Iceland. And after a pretty stressful evening, just about everything is packed ready for Monday morning. Just the kitchen sink is ready
