It was the first day back for the Scouts after Easter on Friday so we took them for a lovely walk from Talybont to Borth.<\/p>\n
Anna wasn’t there as she was off to a swanky awards ceremony at the university. She had been nominated again for the Support Staff of the Year award and came away from it with a certificate for ‘highly commended’ \u00a0– another thing for her office wall and her CV!<\/p>\n
I was therefore left in charge of Scouts for the evening along with help from Chris our Assistant Leader and two parent helpers Leasa and Colin. 12 Scouts turned up as a few were unable to make it and we set off promptly from the green in Talybont. These are my favourite sort of Scout activities really, outside in the fresh air with the kids enjoying the world around them. Other than planning a route, making sure we have adequate adult to child ratios and doing the necessary risk assessments and such like associated with this kind\u00a0of activity there\u00a0isn’t a huge amount of planning involved and not really much to do once out there. This means that I can enjoy the walk too and chat to the Scouts and other leaders as we go.<\/p>\n
There are a few routes you could take from Talybont to Borth, the most obvious from the map is probably the one that follows part of the Borth to Devils Bridge Footpath, but I had picked a slightly longer, more circuitous route as I thought it was more interesting. I know most of it pretty well as I often run these trails and have geocached along here with Morgan too. I was a little unsure of the path\u00a0between Riverside and Millside caravan parks though so had ran along here on Wednesday morning just to check it out in preparation for this walk.<\/p>\n
