The Journey, The Walk and The Sleeping.

11pm and time at last to update the blog as the majority of the children are now quiet but I doubt are sleeping as they are still buzzing from their adventurous day today.

After a relatively short two hour journey  we had a lovely lunch sitting in the sun before we went on our glorious walk. Due to the heat we decided to cut the walk short but still we had a fantastic adventure and broke the trail and discovered an old footpath back to the centre. The highlight of the walk was finding an old snake skin with eye sockets and all lying neatly at the side of the path.

On our return the children met their group leaders, Kat and Zach, who proceeded to entertain them with fun games until supper time. The choices were lasagna or fish fingers on top of as much salad as they could eat. A short break and then straight into the evening's activity - entitled "Scrap Heap Challenge". This challenge concluded with water bombs being caught in a devise designed and built by the children out of scrap materials won during races.

This took us up to about 9.15pm upon which time the children said goodnight, washed their faces, cleaned their teeth and quickly jumped straight into their sleeping bags to get some well deserved sleep - yeah right!

Children and adults alike are thoroughly looking forward to day 2 that will finish with sing songs around a campfire. We hope it's not too quiet for you at home.
