We met at Chorlton scout hut and after a quick look over the kit list and itinerary we headed into Manchester for a team building game. We were given a monopoly style board and map with locations around Manchester and our challenge was to take photographs of as many places on the orange route as we could.
First stop: Piccadilly Gardens! Rachel S and Becky went straight for the fairground ride so the rest of us hid from the rain in Cafe Nero, which explains why the photo was taken through the window ;)

We then hopped on the metrolink and went to Victoria Station, Urbis, some windmills, the triangle shopping centre and St Anne's square (five more ticked off our list!). We then looked for an alley with some umbrellas but ended up in the Arndale food court for some lunch :)
We got back on the metrolink and went to Manchester art gallery and central library.
With a couple of minutes to spare before we had to be back we popped into Krispy Kreme donuts and bought a box of twelve to share.
We went back to chorlton to eat our donuts, then had a quick parents meeting.
Really looking forward to our next (and last!) briefing in July!
