Three Abergavenny girls joined Girlguiding Cymru members from across Wales last weekend for an action-packed winter ‘chill fest’ featuring everything from water zorbing and caving to live music.?The event enjoyed by Caitlin Bamber, aged 18, Jamie-Leigh Davies, 15 and Noor Akeel, 14 - all members of Abergavenny Senior Section Unit – is one of a host of girl-led celebrations this year to mark 100 years of the Senior Section for members aged 14 to 25.

The chilly camp, which took place at Girlguiding Cymru’s headquarters at Broneirion from January 22 to 24, gave more than 70 girls a chance to test their skills by braving the cold winter weather.

The challenging activities on offer included climbing, zumba, geocaching, self-defence and pyrography, bouldering, zip wire, archery, giant inflatables and cycling, with karaoke and a bit of pampering on offer too!

Chief Commissioner, Lesley Mathews said, “From the relaxation corner to caving, Chill Fest has given all the girls and young women here the chance to try something new and make great friends. It’s been fantastic to see so many girls and young women from across the whole of Wales. I can’t thank the volunteers enough for putting on such a thrilling weekend.”
