Welcome to the Border Hike, organised by the Border Hike Committee, part of Gradbach Scout Camp in Derbyshire for Scouts and Guides from all over the British Isles.

The Border Hike...

The Border Hike is a challenging competitive hike for members of the Scout and Explorer sections of the Movement. The 'incident hike' format is hugely popular with the Scouts and Guides as it adds a number of dimensions to a walk through some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain.

 

The Border Hike is a weekend event with the actual competition taking place on the Saturday. Distances are 8 to 10 and 12 to 14 miles for the 'Border Hike' and 'John Bradbury Trophy' events respectively.

 

2009 John Bradbury Trophy Winners

In 1981, the first Border Hike at Gradbach created a foundation for a landmark event in the Scouting calendar that is now in its twenty sixth year!

The Border Hike represents Scouting and Guiding at its best; teamwork, exciting challenges, tests of leadership, skill, general knowledge, personal survival and helping others, but most of all fun, friendship and unforgettable memories!

Scouts who competed in the first hike are regular attendees at the hike and offer support as route marshalls, safety officers, catering or administration staff. Some just turn up to enjoy the unique laid-back atmosphere at Gradbach, where the air is always clean, the mood is always cheerful and the teapot is never empty!

Why not join us in September 2010 - we love to welcome new friends as much as we enjoy greeting old ones!
