2. We then chose our location for the cookout and set about collecting the firewood. The wood was then sorted from big to small.
3. Hannah and Meg started to prepare the food while Soph and Antonia continued to collect firewood.
4. We handed in our menus we made and this is what they looked like: Hannah and Meg then made paper plates by folding pages from magazines which really impressed the judges.
5. The judges came round and asked both teams what time their meals would be ready. Hannah and Soph agreed that it would be ready at 12:15pm and Meg and Antonia said their meal would be ready at 12:20pm.
6. We started to cook our meals on the fire
7. The kebabs only took about 10 mins to cook as our embers were really hot. We also put the bananas on so the chocolate melted.
8. Everything was ready on time and served in the paper plates ready for the judges.
9. The judges came and inspected our hygiene, presentation , fire and our food of course. We think both teams did great.
10. Carl did really well at the trainee session and learnt how to make a fire, cook a twist, a kebab, a chocolate banana and also how to cook an egg on a stick.
11. Although we did not win the competition everyone had enjoyed themselves. We then carried all our gear back to the top of the field and started to prepare for the survival camp.

Survival Competition
* We all found a site for our bivouac and collected wood to build it.
* Once the wood was collected we laid it across a log and covered it in
fern.
* After that we made a fire for hot drinks and put the groundsheet inside
the shelter.
* Once it was getting dark we got our sleeping bags but decided to sleep
outside and not in our shelter.
* When we woke up we all put our things away then Sophie and Antonia made a
fire and Meghan, Carl and I put away the shelter.
* Then we cooked sausages and toast over the embers and the judges visited
us.
* We took everything to the leaders site and then they checked our site for
litter and to make sure the fire was out.
We were really pleased when the results were announced as we had got 2nd
place.
YAY
