Longest break

Its been almost a month or more , that i've gone to group.

Happy gandhi jayanthi and Lal Bahaddur Shastri Jayanthi

We all remember the nations greatest freedom fighter , We all celebrate it with high vigour .

BUT

The nation is not made by A or The single person , we have easily forgotten many freedom fighters like Bose , Bhagat , Chandrashekar . It maybe the ;ack of part of nation to recognise or our lack of interest due to lack of a "NATIONAL HOLIDAY " , Which integrates or Whatever , Its also the birthday of Lal Bahaddur Shastriji     ex prime minister and Freedom fighter of India . Lets also remember him with the Mahatma .

guess who

to sum up this is the RAFTING we did last month

logo suggestion for Karnataka 24th jamborete

Yup ; this year was a bit different as it was JOTI all in the jamboree . was good to chat with lots of scouts across APR.

This years participants were : Madhu ;Sharath ; Abhi ; Vivek .

Though couldnt figure out how exactly JOTI works .

Camp in rain

Last time we camped in a pouring rain was egjactly 9 years back in doddaballapur . pouring rain leaky tent frightened scout mates . . . was fun .

                                        this time it was a little different we had paid 10 times more for this camp . state of the art tents under a shed . . . was no fun
                               

                                       though we tried to do a scouting camp . we just couldnt . was too much luxury . but we did some river swiming . a failed effort to catch fish , where sharath tired to use sathya as bait . did a leeachy trek . it actually feels good to see our blood when it doesnt pain . one leech had the oppurtunity to travel with me till home . one sucked out sharath's wits out. was good over all. sad that couldnt doo rafting . after all coulnt ask more off "us" .

                                      willing to go on an other camp  . . .

Ashi has planned for a trek to Davallappana Gudda on 10&11 of this month. The place is close to Chitradurga.

Regarding the place, travelling, things to bring etc... will be discussed in the group on coming Sunday(4rd July)

RIVER CAMPING

Guys,

A few years back I visited this lovely little river camp on the banks of the river Bhadra. It is close to Chikkamagaluru and easily accessible by road.All-in-all, great place, great food, and great people! You get to trek through a tiger reserve (if you behave, Peter would take you through secret routes that only a few know of), do some angling in the river, listen to Peter's fascinating stories, or wear your lifejackets and swim from shore to shore. http://www.bhadrarivercamp.com/Home

MY Plan --

I personally plan to spend 2nights here and as you know i am not the one to be in such place without you guys.. Any body willing to join are most welcome.

The Group Plan --

We can have Rover-Ranger moot at this place so you guys decide and we should have it this monthend or early nextmonth.. I suggest Ammu and Vivek take the lead and plan for it

Looking forward to hear from you guys..

Cheers
Madhu
