Orion Scouts Assault Course 2005

On Tuesday 5th July 2005, Orion Scout Troop embarked on building it's world famous indoor assault course. The Scouts built the course using a variety of knots, some more unusual than others. They did do very well however. The course consisted of a rope-like bridge which connected to the cargo net run. After the cargo net came the tyres - a tricky obstacle at the best of times. Following on from the tyres is the monkey bars, a first for Orion Troop!

Here are the photos from the evening's antics... larger images can be found by clicking on each thumbnail. Jonathan has the high quality versions should you require them.

Gerald goes first... eyes closed, is he praying?	Gerald finds it a tight squeeze	Gerald: "Hey this is fun!"
Tim walks across the bridge, feels safe enough	Tim's seal of approval I think	Frazer follows in hot pursuit...
Ha, the finish, boy did the monkey bars hurt!	Matt heads for the first obstacle	Peter takes the bridge in his stride.. watch out for the beam...
On the cargo net... go for it Peter!	Peter: "What's next?"	Daniel is next up... smiling at the start at least, looks promising!
Daniel: "So where's the challenge?"	Nathan steps out in anticipation of something great...	Nathan approaches the cargo net...
Nathan makes it across the cargo net... tyres next...	Keep it together Nathan... nice work!	...a rather tired looking Colin... good fun though, wasn't it?
Jonathan braves a smile for the camera...	Hey, action shot. Jonathan makes his first step onto the bridge	Stepping it out... Well Done Jonathan!
Okay, so Alex has been desperate to try the assault course...	Good fun, Alex?	Jonathan swings high...
... Jonathan swings low (!) Colin: "That beam should hold..."	Alex: "It was worth tying all those knots properly!"	Lying low....
Alex: "Monkey bars are not my favourite!"	Where did he go?	The first of the time trials... Gerald goes first...
