Cub Grey Wolf Hike – Jul 10

One of our Cubs William B led 4 of his fellow cubs on a Grey Wolf hike that he planned and executed on his own. Here is his report.

On Sunday 1 August 2010 I did my Grey Wolf bushwalk. I took Snowy and Wallaby (leaders), Callum, Eva, William H and Timothy. We walked the Curra Moors Track in the Royal National Park. I checked that everyone had their food, water, first aid kit and a jacket. We started the walk from Sir Bertram Stevens Drive and walked to the coast. The walk was 6 ½ km and took just over two hours. Luckily it was a nice, sunny day, but the track was pretty wet from the rain we have had. We walked downhill through bush to start off with, across a small creek, then up onto Curra Moors, where there was a wide track and it was very flat. We saw lots of grass trees, wattles, bottlebrush and other flowers. When we came to a fork in the track I used my compass and a map to check which direction to go in, and we also used Snowy’s GPS. We had lunch at a lookout at the top of Garie Headland before walking back. I used my first aid kit once for a cut finger.

WELL DONE WILLIAM.
