Then we go to a hill somewhere, with our uber range cantennas and steal wifi from a hotspot like the cloud that is 2-3 miles away :D Epic Wifi Win

Because... nature is our friend

Wanted

Gazebo Tent -- does it need to have walls?

Offered

Our Scout Group would potentially be able to lend tents ranging in size from titchy to marquee, on a couple of conditions:

Hackspace agrees to mend/replace any damage

Hackspace makes a small donation or alternatively provides an activity for the Scouts (e.g. we have an event in March where the laser maze which I think Hackspace now has would make a cool activity).
