2009 Camping and Backwoods competitions.

The County Camping and Backwoods competitions were held together at the site of the 5th Urmston in June 2009. This site proved an ideal setting for the two competitions as each of the 7 patrols had their own campsites. Well done to the 2nd Davyhulme for coming first in the camping competition, to 13th Leigh who came 2nd and to 9th/15th Leigh who came 3rd. In the Backwoods competition a very well done to first entrants 3rd/1st Eccles who won the competition. For a full breakdown of the points follow this link. This proves that experience in competitions is not everything. Again 13th Leigh came 2nd and to 9th/15th Leigh came 3rd in this competition. Like last year the highlight for most of the patrols was the Flag game which was held on the Sunday due to the heavy rain the previous evening which all survived.
