MEMBERS of Tavy Division Senior Section of Girlguiding UK have returned from four days of challenging activities and live music at Wellies and Wristbands — a festival-style event exclusively for girlguiding members.

Fourteen members of Tavy Rangers travelled to Foxlease in Hampshire to join more than 2,000 guides and members of the senior section for the action-packed girl-only extravaganza over the Bank Holiday weekend.

They had their pick of the adventurous activities on offer at Foxlease — one of Girlguiding's training and activity centres — including zip wiring, abseiling, a high ropes course and the crate challenge, which sees participants build a huge tower of crates while harnessed to a rope.

There was live music, street dancing, zumba and line dancing to join in with and opportunities to relax at a beach village, the cinema and pamper zone complete with hot tubs set up on the 65-acre site for the occasion.

Senior Section member Ailish Piper said: 'Wellies and Wristbands was a great girl-only experience. There was a real festival-style atmosphere. Girls and their leaders from all over the country attended — there was a real sense of community.'
