15th – 17th April 2016
Entries are now open for the 2016 annual challenge hikes run by the Bolton South with Farnworth District but which are open to all UK Scout & Guide Groups.
There are three levels of challenge hikes run over the weekend:
- Pip Hartley Memorial event is aimed at the cub age range of 8 to 10 years. Teams of 4 young people walk with an adult and navigate between check points in the area, competing in challenges at each check point.
- Pike View Hike event is the original event aimed at the Scout age range where teams of four Scouts navigate on their own around a course int he West Pennine Moors. This will be from a route they will have plotted themselves from a standard route card at the start of the event. On the course there will be a variety of challenges from first aid to Ballroom dancing.
- Bibbys Farm Yomp event is aimed at Explorer Scouts and is similar to the Scout event but tougher both in length and navigational ability.
