Today we enjoyed our breakfast of cereal and toast followed by sausages and eggs. We needed it as we knew we were in for a wet day. In the morning we went sailing on fun-boats. It was fantastic once we made it to the middle of the lake because the wind picked up. All the children had to chase Mrs Bland back and forth across the lake. We had some near collisions and by the end of the session we were all pros! We then had lunch back at the house and got kitted out in wet suits and water proofs ready ghyll scrambling. After a short mini-bus ride we began the long journey up to the top of the waterfall. The group showed great teamwork, determination and perseverance. We all fell over many times but it didn’t stop us as after an hour and a half we finally made it to the top of the waterfall. By the time we got home we were all ready for a hot shower and dinner - burger and chips!

Today we’ve had such a fun day. We started by kayaking in the lake. We then did seal launches off the jetty which was amazing. Mrs Owen fell off her kayak playing kayak football too! Again there was lots of perseverance and encouragement. We kayaked back to the shore and jumped off the jetty. We were so cold by this point. We all had a hot shower and then lunch. In the afternoon, the children abseiled down the big tree and then spent some time on the indoor climbing wall.

Well the weather hasn't been great today. This morning we did high ropes on Water Park’s ground, we did the floating ladder and the leap of faith. We then had lunch and got ready. We put so many layers on we could hardly walk to the Ghyll for Ghyll Scrambling. The group worked hard and had a lot of fun! We were falling in water, swimming, climbing up waterfalls and sliding on rocks. It was very cold but we just got on with it and enjoyed it so much.
