Explorer Summer Camp - London 07

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Just back from Marple Explorer’s Summer Camp in London. I’ve had to come back a couple of days early, so I missed the Brewery Tour, the day trip to Brighton and the visit to London Zoo. But I was there for the day visit to the 21st World Scout Jamboree, the Monopoly run, and various other activities.

As usual, there are a few hundred photos, and so without any further ado;
