The Cotswold marathon is an annual night hike event for scouts and explorers over three routes, 10, 20 and 30 miles.
This year Tuesday Scouts have a team of three entered into the Bronze event (10 miles).
Sunday they had their second practise walk over the first 5 miles of the route in daylight, and a challenging climb up Robins Wood hill, followed by the climb to Painswick Beacon.
They have two more practise hikes, the second 5 miles in daylight then an evening hike of around 7 miles of the route before the event in early February.
