George S – Water Troop
and so the celebrity craze goes on with every member of the troop still being hunted for autographs, pictures and genral swaps (still loving it ). Recently i had to fight off a ant invasion from my main bag and now have a unreasonable hatred towards ants after spending hours picking them out. Yesterday mount fuji came into full view and it was completely awe inspiring also as darkness fell the stars came out and the sky was absoloutley beautiful nothing like I have seen in england, shooting stars also spead across the sky and it was genrally an incredible night. Today we have just been told that we do not have to perform our song (thankfully) as the scots have taken our spot remind me to thank them later :) also id just like to take this oppurtunity to say hello to my parents who must really be enjoying there time without me :P

2 posts in 2 days! i am quite honestly on a roll. Anyway, we’ll start at mt. fuji, absolutely gorgeous is quite possibly the best way i can think to describe it, i have never seen such a breathtaking sight in my entire life especially since it was followed by looking at the stars for a good hour and then a beautiful nights sleep. The morning was abit iffy as the entire troop woke up at 5 having missed the all important peace bell and my troop was greated by the fact that we had to make an entire breakfast out of cornflour and water….. we failed…. good times. Anyway, must shoot off, bysey bye.

What is up family?
I hope that you got the e-mail I sent to you from homestay explainng that every is alright. Oh by the way I’ve arrived at the Jamboree and it’s fantastic. For the first few days Mount Fuji was blocked by clouds and stuff but luckily yesterday morning the whole mountain was visible. I got some great pictures! I’m sad to here about Henblas, was James upset. By the way how many fish did you catch? I’ve swapped all the badges and got a load of awesome woggles. Ours are all rubbish compared to the Japanese. They have robots and Pokemon! Send me a message as soon as you get this. (And try to give me a hint what you want as a gift)
See ya soon, triple explanation mark, smiley face.

today we treckked up mt fuji due to timing restrictions we couldnt make it to the top but we did make it to the 6th base the treck up to 6th base was really hard work due to the slopes being mainly scree it was along the lines of two steps forward was one step back however the view from the base was amazing. after a quick refuel at the base it was time to head down and what was a 4 hour treck up to the base was quickly turned into a 20 minute run down the scree it was amazing and I really enjoyed it. I only managed to deck it twice and one of those personally i would describe as missing a hill and falling with style :) hopefully there has been a video posted of my attempt at scree running and my falling with style taken by me as I was running and you can form you own opinion ;)

Hope you are all having a great time in Spain, Edin and Manchester, had an amazingly active day today climbing Mt Fuji! Felt like Tensin! The past few days have been fantasic fun, with glorious weather and lots of activities such as pioneering, japanese tea and going to a japanese catholic mass. We had a day of peace on Thursday, we were woken up at 4.30! and after waking up to cook breakfast at 5 each morning, our body clocks will be even more messed up when we see you ;). Mt. Fujl was amazing, we had three hours to climb and reached 2,500 ft!, see you soon,the little ones, Grace and Jamie xxxx

Hey guys :)
Hope these pics are good you’re seeing because half the time i don’t even realise they’re being taken! I have some lovely tan lines to show you, you’re just going to laugh and if its not at that then it will either be at the state i look or me falling asleep in my dinner again…everythings so overwhelming its actually unbelievable! Home stay was amazing…the family me and Beth stayed with were lovely, they even gave us a copy of photos and some other fantastic gifts – and well Mount Fuji, what can i say it was breath-taking – how often is it you get to say you’ve done something like that!
Write Back, speak soon…
Love You xxxxx
