Hi Everyone,
Saturday saw yet another successful Pledged Plod, Scouting registered 578 walkers. An increase of around 40 which again breaks previous records. Guiding added around another 150 to that figure. When we consider that those walkers nearly all had family with them it made for a very busy day.
A success. 83 Squirrels, 163 Beavers, 160 Cubs, 112 Scouts, 44 Explorers and 16 leaders. Safari Park had 1400 visitors with no issues reported and good feedback. The 10am start was very busy.
Huge thanks to those that marshalled the route, helped register and check off the walkers. This walk simply couldn’t happen without you. Well done also goes to the Food and Shop stalls we had at the activity centre, both of which saw very high demand throughout the day.
Special mention also goes to Chris Morgan and Valley Explorers who kindly ‘offered’ to get up very early from their campsite and set out the route.
I also have to Thanks West Midland Safari Park, without their continued support on this event I’m sure it wouldn’t be anywhere near as successful as it is.
As ever I welcome any feed back surrounding the day,
Next PLOD - 4th October 2025 … See you there.
