MEMBERS of an Explorer Scouts group decided to take their badge work to a new level recently.
Three members of Clitheroe Explorer Scouts' unit tried their hands at some Extreme Ironing.

With careful paddling work and a great sense of balance, the Explorer Scouts were able to paddle 200m along the River Ribble while ironing.

Extreme ironing combines the danger of an extreme sport with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt.

Explorer Scout Nathan Littley said: "The hardest part was getting a straight crease on the sleeves and – oh yes - not falling in."
