Yesterday at cubs we walked around Whickham and parts of Watergate park, in the dark. With our torches and maps, we made our way along Whickham front street, up Washingwell Lane and around the local countryside, to turn back and go through Washingwell woods and along Cornmoor Road returning to the church hall.

With all of the torches and the high-vis jackets, we all looked very illuminous!

Next week we will continue to learn about mental wellbeing, particularly looking at getting nervous and the historic reasons as to why we get the ‘fight or flight’ response.
