Today, a small but determined team participated in this year’s NavFest: Beach. This year, the starting point was at Point Malcom, Semaphore Park.
The team took part in some navigation and map planning activities before sitting down to plan their route. Deciding on team name provide to be challenging.
Eventually it was sorted (We are Here For The Ice Cream) and so was the planned route.
We headed off, but unlike others, the cubs did not run, and we think that was a bit of a relief. It ensured we were able to stay as a group from the get go.
Over the course of 2 hours, the group covered a distance of 7 ½ km, which included a stop for ice cream.
Once again, the team came in about the middle of the field, with a score of 460 points. Not a bad effort and certainly continually improving on the points gained, as well as improvement in their map reading skills. This alone makes doing NavFest a worthwhile activity and we are looking forward to doing it again next year.
