Friday 14th April 1933

Good Friday. A day’s hiking with the Scouts. Hack, Reg, Micky, Sammy, Bill, Dick and Tiny. Met at Westgate and set off across the West Common. Foss Dyke. Pyewipe. Sunshine, the barge Saxilby. Five Lane Ends. Lunch in my old spinney. We tried to alter the sign post but could not.

Doddington. Tea in a field, at 4 o’clock and stalking in a shrub plantation. By straight woods through trees to Boultham and Lincoln. Home 7 o’clock, tired. Sausage, baked beans, coffee and “Imperial Palace”.
