Now it's August and we have returned safely from our Ultimate Adventure to celebrate the centenary of Girlguiding. There are so many people to thank and so many memories that we will have for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful to Girlguiding's pioneers for their actions 100 years ago which made our trip possible

Whitewater adventures, cobblers and a welcome storm
Thursday saw us heading across Maryland to Harpers Ferry for an afternoon of whitewater rafting on the Potomac. Yet more fun and adventure as we not only went down river in rafts but also on our backs, riding the eddies and currents.
The evening was memorable for arriving back to find white-tailed deer in the car park, a great supper of BBQ foods followed by MrP’s pear cobbler and ice-cream
followed by the most spectacular show of lightning in the skies over the bay. That meant a much cooler and pleasanter night in the cabins.

Never thought I'd ever say "Thank goodness for a storm!!" good thing it got a little cooler, eh? From the photo with your white water rafting gear on I thought at first that you'd all joined up with a Roman legion...silly me! Also glad you are getting the chance to see some of the wildlife and to taste the local delicacies!!
