30 District Explorers from both Raptors ESU and Vikings ESU came together to take part in the London Monopoly Run 2023
The District fielded 5 explorer teams and a Leader's Team dressed appropriately as Wally's
The explorers made their own way down to the campsite in Bound's Green, navigating both National Rail Services and the Underground, before hiking into the campsite and pitching their tents. To say it was wet was an understatement, with the campsite resembling something out of Glastonbury. Mud was certainly the order of the day.
On the Saturday all got dressed in their Fancy Dress outfits and headed out to find as many locations, answer questions and take the best photos of the day. They competed with over 1500 explorers from across the UK and even some scouts flew in from Ireland and Europe to take part.
In the evening the explorers headed back into Leicester square and surrounding areas to do a bit more sightseeing and some shopping, before arriving back in camp for 11PM.
Following the award ceremony and breakfast they took down the camp, headed back to Kings Cross and onwards to Newark, a fantastic weekend was had by all.
