| On all our previous
visits to Kandersteg we have visited
Oeschinensee every time. To complete the
Kandersteg High Adventure Award the Scouts
Explorers and Networkers have to swim in an
alpine lake. Oeschinensee is about the
lowest and therefore the least cold. On
all our previous visits the water has been unbearably
cold. Nobody stays in for more than 60
seconds.
This summer was Switzerland's hottest
in 80 years and at Oeschinensee it
showed. Loads of people were sunning
themselves on the alpine beach and the Scouts
swam for nearly two hours!
