Awww, isnt that cute....

After sharing a tent for 2 weeks, look at them now....

There are places I remember...

As with the last jamboree, heres my tents footprint.

Goods time, but now a trek back to the coaches.

Woohoo, ist party

an amazing night just for ist.

Da-dum da-dum da-dum dshhhhh

dadadadaaa dadadadaaaa 'its the final countdown'

It was europe who played. Heavy rain showers for the closing ceremony, but it didnt matter. A great time was had by all.

The thunder storms were amazing afterwards and very heavy rain, but the two units should have been well under cover by then, only the silly people like be got caught in the rain.

No pics on my phone of europe due to bad weather, sorry.

Sean with his trophy!!

Apparently he was given this by his patrol. He was really excited, he seems to have embraced his feminine side. ;)

Saturday - final day for participants

Its finally arrived. The last day before departure tomorrow. Both units are packing up. Birmingjam are leaving at 2amish, so their plan is to sleep out in the large white catering tent. Webjam have the same idea, however, they arent leaving until 1pm, so I may be able to catch them before they go.

Tonight is the closing ceremony. It should be good.

The 'Final Countdown'???

As always, rumours are flying about the closing and the possibility of Europe playing. Personally, I think its unlikely, but you never know as they are on tour in this part of sweden as they are a swedish rock band!!!

We shall see, but im not holding much hope

Calm contemplation and panic packing.

There is a strange atmosphere on site.

Just finished my second last shift, one last visit to the castle for lunch as its fish in the ist canteen.

On my walk across, there is frantic packing going on to get everything down in time for the closing ceremony tonight.

There is also an air of quiet contemplation on the last 10 days.

No picture on this one. Sorry.

Whatta view #2

This is mainly summer with a little of winter. Unfortunately you can't see the Webjam units site as trees were in the way, but birmingjam's site is in the V of the branches to the right.

Whatta view

Popped up the tower to get a view from above of the site. This is autumn subcamp. I work in the big white tent in the top left.

Bored of their units cooking??

Also met the leaders from Webjam, if you dont know the faces, from the left, Barry-BSWE, Keith-Birmingham, Graham-Birmingham, Steve-BSWE.

They decided they needed some properly cooked food!!! ;)

Happy CST's

went for a full english at the castle and saw 2 really happy cst's (Contingent Support Team). These guys look after all the uk contingent with a few others

Pop Quiz: The Answer

A few days ago I asked is anyone could guess what the following statement means:

"Har du testat att ta av det och ta på det igen?"

It was ment to be "Have you tried turning it off an on again" however, it translates to:

"Have you tried to remove it and take it back?" - which made me giggle!!

Apparently, it should read:

"Har du testat att stänga av den och sätta på den igen?"

Culture Day

Well, today is culture day. Thats where everyine shows off their local culture, dress, food, dance etc etc. 

I spent the day emersed in various cultures testing their food!! ;)

Strangely, most of them were sweets or desserts!!! Very tasty!!!

This evening, everyone headed for a concert(?) Or gathering in the main arena.

The jamboree was joined by all the hosted from camp-in-camp, apparently almost 50,000 people.

Dear Steph,

This is why we need a fire engine for the unit......

Mexico v's Webjam

after being invited to webjam for tea, the invite was recinded as they had been invited to the mexicans "next door". Hmmm not happy. No tea!!! To be fair, its more important than tea for me. Hope they have a good time
