JDP 07

From Friday 6th April till Monday 9th April we had the JDP 2007 in BeauManor Hall in Loughborough. A beautiful scouts location out in the countryside with green, green fields and big, beautiful trees, not to mention an absolutely stunning mansion (nope - we didnt stay in it!).

The camp was very relaxed, with only a few talks every day and plenty of time to stroll around and chat to friends.

One problem - I was sleep deprived when I got to JDP.... and a DP is not the exactly the right place to catch up on sleep! So as the weekend wore on, I got more and more sleep deprived. By monday, I was running on adrenaline and little else, which got interesting.

The theme of the event was the Quran and we had some some pretty good talks about the Quran and how it affected some people and inspired others. We heard some beautiful recitations, MashAllah.

It was great weather, and I had a lot of fun meeting up with meeting up with old friends and making new ones. Its one of the best things about these Joint DP.

The weekend passed in a huge blur, and before I knew it, it was ending.

This is a very pathetic account of my weekend, but guess what? I'm still feeling sleep deprived!
