Eating outdoors

In what has been a warm week to the point of going without a coat we'll conclude with looking at an essential side of outdoor life.

Not everything goes to a two or three hour period ready for returning to home for a bite to eat nor can you count upon there being a place nearby for a meal and a drink.

Thus unless you were feeling like a spot of outdoor cooking  we would be doing the same as this boy, having our packed lunch out of doors.

It's very important to ensure we don't leave anything behind (apart from good memories) so anything like wrappers, crisp packets need to picked up and not left to be blown about which apart from being unsightly, they takes ages to decay and may harm animals and birds.

If he was anything like me, there's a good chance Mum put up his packed lunch to which I'd suggest a cereal bar or bit of fruit cake always helps keeping up energy levels be included.

Seeing it is Mother's Day here in the UK on Sunday, it's time to thank them for everything that helps scouting from supporting their children to helping the local leadership.
