Thanks to Chris Gaskell and 1^st Ashton in running it. Comments from Chris:

"My feedback - the kids were great, thanks to all the leaders for preparing them correctly and putting them in the right mindset. I liked the route, it was relatively straight forward but quite demanding for the Scouts. Thanks to all those leaders who thanked us and helped Marshall the checkpoints."
