Guides at Hag Dyke

   |   By

Guides recently had a weekend away at Hag Dyke. The weather was perfect and we were able to spend a lot of time outdoors, walking up Great Whernside, playing games and practicing navigation skills. One of the highlights of the weekend was a talent show on Saturday evening.

Scout Hike across the Moors

   |   By

Had a fantastic evening hiking right across Ilkley Moor. The weather held out right until the end and all the scouts kept a good pace.

5km completed, navigation skills practiced, and all scouts in good spirits at the end; a cracking walk for a great evening!

Hag Dyke Working Party

   |   By

Fantastic weather allowed a productive working party at Hag Dyke to get a lot done.

Painting, filling, cleaning, joinery, and some electrical work all complete, and preparation completed for the next bits of work. Just some of the tasks needed to get the hostel ready for our Hag Dyke open day in August! A good weekend was had by all.

Scouts win at the torch race again!

   |   By

After the last two torch races in Otley got canceled due to covid, we once again returned to our annual district race. Ilkley Explorers retained the trophy for the explorer race, and 1st BR Scouts retained our trophy for thhe scout race. Fantastic result for the group and cracking effort from everyone there. A really tough race and everyone gave their all for a fantastic result! We even got into the Ilkley Gazette

Troop Training Camp

   |   By

Fantastic Friday evening and Saturday morning spent practising a few of the basics we’re going to need for our upcoming camps. Great work from everyone getting all the jobs done in the short time we had.

    New Water Supply

       |   By

    Hag Dyke has just installed a new water treatment plant. The project has been delayed almost 2 years by Covid but we now have a supply which meets the requirements for drinking water and is no longer the strange brown colour which will be familiar to regular visitors.

    We are grateful to the many friends and supporters who contributed to the substantial cost of this project which further improved the facilities of our unique hostel.
