Higher than any Beaver has been before

Kennet District Beaver mascot "Bobby" has been trekking through the Himalayas and has seen Everest and many other giant mountains covered in snow and ice.  Despite the lack of trees and rivers Bobby enjoyed his trip and commented that Beaver fur beats any of the current hi tech equipment available for extreme conditions. Bobby had  Assistant Beaver Leader Tony Higgs from the 3rd Newbury Scouts Beaver Colony stuck to his back during the whole trekking trip who says he is sticking with the modern gear !
