The last scout has left the site, The guides have all packed up and Peak2010 is eerily quite with only the sound from a couple of distant generators breaking the silence.
We have now officialy been stood down on safety team, and tonight its a get together in the pub, then on to one of the marquees that remain on site.
i will be taking a few more photos of the camp site tomorrow and posting them on here.
theres still a few more photos to go up from my phone.
Also at some point i will put together a presentation DVD that will be made available sometime in the future.
If you want to see any specific are of the camp after the Scouts have gone leave a comment below.

one day to go...
Its now 3pm on Saturday the 31st of July, and tommorow i pack up and head home.
Already the peak 2010 site is emptying out at a rapid pace, the big marquees are comming down, what was once an area full of tents is now nothing but patches of yellow grass.
Half of the water system is being removed (subcamps kazakh, everglades, himalayas,pacific and arctic ) and the toilets on that side of the camp are shut, making it a bit of a long walk for facilities to those who are still on site.
There should be some more photos of the dismantling of peak coming soon.

Friday - camp closing ceremony
And its raining.
in just under an hour its the closing ceremony at Peak 2010 where all those who are camping on site will be assembling in the main arena to mark the end of peak 2010.
Tommorow morning almost all groups will be leaving site, and everyone should be gone by early afternoon.
The peak site itself has to be returned back to empty fields by tuesday, all the waterpipes, electrical systems, marquess tents, phone systems - the whole lot has to be packed up.

Thursday
So far so good, and as far as the safety team side of things goes we have had no problems at all.
As usual with theeese camps there is a quite chilled out end and a slightly nosier end, and just like previous peaks the quiter chilled out end is at the northern part of the camp.
The Scouts have been out on various activites, and walking round the site theres alot of tired people around as the peak camp enters its final few days.
I hope to put a few more photos up in the next few days and this blog will continue to be updated from live from Peak 2010 right up until I leave on afternoon of Sunday the 1st of August, that is a full day after all the scouts have gone. If anyone wants to see any parts of the camp (that i can practicly get to ) then leave a comment below.
