Sam is going to abseil off the Monsal Trail viaduct next weekend - a huge free-hanging abseil that he'll do entirely independently (but safety-checked by experts!) in aid of the World Scout Jamboree

He's very excited :-)

Every year the World Scout Jamboree provides opportunities for youngsters from all over the world to meet and reap the massive benefits of the Scouting movement. 

One of Sam's scouting buddies has won a place to go this year, and we're all helping to raise the funds to get him there, which will in turn provide bursaries for those who might otherwise face financial barriers...
