The recent Blondes Diamond Challenge revealed many things. Mostly that the mums of our fab Young Leaders are all lovely (not that this came as a surprise). But the mums also demonstrated certain traits that we have seen many times before …

Mum to Numbers was very organised and had all of the right things that everyone could possible need (including bacon sandwiches and ready made coffee). Mum to Search was very neat and tidy and looked after her kit beautifully. Mums to Eager and Little Miss Giggles were often to be found trying to decide something between them. We have seen this often when Eager and LMG ‘discuss’ various options!

All 5 mums displayed the same love of the outdoors as their sons/daughters as they ended the expedition asking for more: a night walk, an annual Bronze expedition and even a Silver expedition on Dartmoor. Watch this space …
