The London Trip 2005
During our annually trip to London, 21 Explorer Scouts and 4 leaders, took the train from Haslemere
Station to Waterloo Station. A short walk later we were at the first activity of the day, the enrolments of the new Explorer Scouts on the London Eye. We then walked to Covent Gardens to watch the street
entertainers and to have our packed lunch. After lunch we split into two groups, one group went to Oxford street for a bit of shopping, while the other group went and saw a bit of the Lord Mayor’s Show and then went to the Imperial War Museum. We all met up at 5pm to watch the Lord Mayor’s firework display on the River Thames. We finished of the day with something to eat and caught the train back to Haslemere.
