We tried cooking burgers on hot coals using leaves.

Healthy eating
Marks the end of our cafe de coral breakfasts. After about three years they have decided to axe the set A and B combination. Whilst being no big deal it has now made it more complicated for me to order. Today is also the day our new helper arrives so from today onwards I expect home-made meals.
Wish us luck
Compact Calendar for Hong Kong

This is my attempt at creating the HK version of the CompactCalendar by David Seah. Fee free to tell me where I’ve gone wrong but this seems correct according to my reference.
Hike on the first day of the year
So, no prizes for the longest hike etc but it was one of our first for a long time. And it was raining harder as we climbed the hill so we decided that it was a good idea to turn around and go elsewhere.
I did manage to introduce the idea of using a map and compass which I think they didn’t really see the whole reason why we need one. Next time I hope we do something a little bit more aggressive which will need a map.
I calculate the whole trip to be about 6km which is not too bad.
Decision on which camp site
Time just doesn’t stop. When I first put “camp” on my calendar it seemed so far away, now it seems too close.
The time has come that I must make that all important decision on which site do I choose otherwise they will all be full. So where do I start? Well maybe not by writing this post! Maybe I should be tossing a coin?
The choices were:
1. Gillwell campsite (a scout site)
2. Nam Shan campsite (a government site)

We did finally decide on the Gilwell option as we thought it would be a bit closer for us and at least we can book some space. We were a little worried that we can’t book the government site.
Now we have to start planning the programme for the camp.
