MORE than 75 youngsters enjoyed an evening with the right-hand man of TV, survival expert Bear Grylls.

Scott Heffield, of Petersfield, is one of the team of experts who advise him.

On Saturday, Scott, a former director of rugby at Petersfield Rugby Club, gave a survival masterclass, which included stalking in the woods at Penns Place using special binoculars, fire-lighting and shelter building.

The evening ended with young volunteers taking part in a ‘gross eat’ challenge in which they tried high protein mealworms. The youngsters then enjoyed a ‘wide’game in the dark before bedding down in tents behind the Petersfield Rugby Club clubhouse.
