Doing a spot of research on Cambridge and all its many attractions I came across a curious item.
This time last year, the 1st March Scout Group was gearing up for its 100 anniversary.
They had researched the history of the troop, and found this gem.
‘Keeping fit was on the agenda for the 20 Beavers and 40 Scouts (not yet, not yet, it’s coming….)
So after raising their new ‘Beaver Flag’, the Scouts settled down to a spot of ….”Dyke Jumping”.
That must have been an education for the young lads.
A fine bottle of wine for the best printable description of a suitable badge to be sewn on the winning Scout’s anorak.

A round felt badge I think, usual Scout background colour. Erect Scout standing beside recumbent fat lady, two hands firmly grasping his staff which is angled across lady’s body to reach the ground beyond her.

Biffo has described the technique perfectly.
May I suggest an alternative badge showing a gingerbeardy* vaulting a grinning baldy** with the words “BBC, It’s What We Do” around the edge?You pay for it whether you qualify for it or not.* Mark Thompson

Dyke jumping was all the rage until that pesky hate crime legislation ruined our fun.
