ONS 2013

On Saturday 21st September I went to One Night Stand, an annual Explore Scout event organised by Keynsham Explorer Scouts, at Chelwood Campsite. Because I was working the next morning I was not able to stay over night, but did stay until midnight. We spent most of the time playing tricks on other members of our unit which included moving and cable tying someone (that we knew's) tent while they were asleep inside!
