Jamboree fundraising - the fun way...

April 2002

[Ascending Tryfan]The last weekend of April saw all types of weather come to North Wales, alongside Toby, Arran, Jonny, Matt and Ed. The five had arrived to ascend some mountains in order to raise funds towards the World Jamboree in Thailand, which both Toby and Arran will represent the UK at.

The weather, bringing wind, rain, hail and eventually snow, made things difficult, but it did offer two windows giving just enough time to get up Tryfan via the North Ridge (an excellent scramble) and a brisk blast up Snowdon.

We stayed at Llangollen and Ogwen Cottage Youth Hostels and thanks must go to Nicola, Toby's mum, for driving!

The event raised a substantial sum of money (well into four figures), so well done to the scouts to the effort they put in.
