Sevenoaks Scouts Go Youth Hostelling In Wales

A Memory of Crickhowell.

I remember taking the patrol leaders from my scout troop, the 3rd Sevenoaks (Riverhead), on a visit to Wales as we wanted to check out posiible sites for a summer camp the following summer. "Skip" was Mick Ryan who was then an RAF Squadron Leader and his plan was to use his contacts to fix a visit to St Athan where the RAF engineers were based. We found our campsite, made all our arrangements and even had time to explore the Crickhowell Castle. Its surprising what you can do in just a couple of days if it's planned properly!
