The 5th/13th's Very Own Site


About me
Hi, We're the 5th/13th Ridgeway Venture unit!. We're based in St.Albans, In Hertfordshire, England. We're a new Venture Scout Unit, who've been operating for about two months now. Venture Scouts is great. Most of us have been involved with it for a long time, and we just keep coming back for more (in all possible senses of the word!) What do you do on Monday evenings? Sit in front of the TV? Spend endless hours finding out how to make bombs on lucrative internet sites? GET A LIFE!!! Ask us what we do on Monday nights. Go on, ask us. We go out to the cinema. We go out on night hikes. We go out orienteering and loads more. If it's semi-ethical and more or less legal we've probably had a go at it! Besides all the activitys on Monday nights we go out a lot on weekends. We go out Hiking, Climbing, Abseiling, Cycling, or anything else that alleviates the general boringness of St.Albans. Just recently we did the Hertfordshire Venture Scouts 40 mile hike (Why? you ask. 'Cos it seemed like a good idea at the time...) If you're between 16 and 21, game for a laugh and want more information, or want to come down and visit us next Monday, try E-mailing Seb at the adress below (reply guaranteed or your money back). 5th/13th Ridgeway Ventures... Screws the rest... Be the best!
What I'm interested in:
  • Hiking
    Yomping off around mountains. Getting completely exhausted and having a great laugh. A great laugh?... Hiking?... of course we do. We wouldn't do it if we didn't like it. There's always the nearest pub at the end of the hike though (we'll drink you local yobs under the table any time. Venture scouts is the ONLY place you'll find women who drink beer by the PINT)
  • Camping
    Ridgeway ventures do it under canvas, and we do it bloody well. We go camping at least four or five times a year, and everybody looks forward to summer camp
  • Water based activities
    What the hell is a "water based activity?" I hear you ask. Well, well, Well, you'll just have to come along and find out won't you...
