Finding our way


Original source: redneckerchiefs

The seaside always was an attraction to me in my youth, something about the smell of salt water, the roar and crashing of waves and the wildlife around it always called me to it.

This also applied to camp like activities too of which there were a number I attended and took a full part in at the time and indeed even now I have the same feelings.

Here these scouts rather like us are pawing over their map, probably looking at the inset map of the area showing roads and features rather than the wider all area one of which ours were Ordnance Survey (O.S.) Maps which we had been trained to read and quote our locations by, looking for their next place to find and just maybe meet up with others at.

That kind of spirit is what comes flooding back to me.
