Event Description

Junior teams started from Mount Melleray Scout

Centre and hiked up Dyrick mountain, completing

bases on feature identification, bearings, weather

charts and mountain first aid along the way.

Senior teams, starting from the Vee , took in the

peaks of Sugarloaf Hill (664m), Knockmealdown

(794m), Knocknagnauv (655m)and Knocknafallia

(668m) before returning to the base at Mt Melleray

for a well deserved rest, followed by the cooking of

their test meals and a lively campfire.

Venture Scouts from Ballincollig and Blarney Venture

beautiful weather allowing clear views and even

some suntans for the participants. After a Scouts’

home.
