Group B left at 10.30 on Sunday to hike up to the Frundenhutte, a mountain hut 2562m above sea level, for an ice-climbing and glacier workshop. It was a challenging hike, but worth it for the incredible views of the lake and surrounding scenery. We arrived in good time and had a couple of hours […]

Read moreKISC Update 4 – Safe Arrival
After the reasonably enjoyable and completely uneventful 19 hour journey from Scout Park at 3am this morning we arrived safely to Kandersteg at 2230.

The weekend was very eventful. We set of on Friday afternoon just after 5pm. Assuming we would arrive some time that evening, we all set of in high hopes that we would get back in time to cook a nice dinner and get a good sleep. In reality, thanks to HHESU’s @judi_k‘s very #slowdriving (and maybe […]
Read moreDofE Practice/training weekend
After extensive planning on many meetings throughout the year we had gained the necessary skills to safely canoe as a group down the Themes. Although this was only a practice for the real DofE canoeing expedition, it still took all of our training and left us very ready for the real thing. The weekend was very […]
