Every year, the Scout troops in Flitwick go on a Christmas Light walk towards the end of the term. It is a slightly different way of going on a hike because the route is different every year based on which houses roads have lots of lights to look at!
One of the Patrol Leaders will plan the route in advance and put their spin on it. This year, the trail is done by following postcodes and includes a quiz based on the decorations at the different locations. Following the locations/questions in order will result in a circular route starting/ending at the Scout Hut (or the Christmas Tree by the memorial), and the route/questions can be done in reverse.
