On a very wet Saturday morning a group of Air Scouts and Leaders cycled along the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal from Malpas to Pontymole canal basin. Although the trip started in pouring rain after about an hour the rain stopped and we were all able to dry out and complete the outward leg of the journey in good time. A welcome break for a cup of tea or pop was enjoyed at Pontymole basin and we started the return trip with a stop off at the Chip shop in Griffthstown, and very nice chips they were too.
The bikes and Scouts were all sizes but everyone did really well on the 16 mile expedition, for some of the younger Scouts this was there first cycle trip outside of Malpas.
Thanks to Mark the Dad for his support
