Daily Trip report THURSDAY 1 May 2008
After a very sound night’s sleep, today’s theme was “Amongst the Trees”. How many things can you use the forest for? Too many to mention but here are a few highlights.
Low ropes with fiendishly difficult obstacles – only passable with care and the help of your team mates!
The impossible tyres puzzle – solvable in 15 steps if you know how!
Best of all the high zip wire – but first you have to climb the telegraph pole steps, then walk the high wire and finally scale the rope ladder to reach the platform. You can even zip upside down – Indiana Jones eat your heart out.
As you can see in the photo above, tonight is barbecue night followed by “The Mount School’s got Talent”. Singers, dancers, acrobats, poets and comedians – Peat Rigg hosts variety.
So its goodnight from us all until tomorrow. We have packing to do!
PS - we have hundreds of photos but each one takes half an hour to load on the website from here - so more pictures will follow next week.
Another fun filled action day. Groups A and B stayed on
site and activities included Archery, Tree Climbing and
Problem Solving.
Groups C and D enjoyed the sunshine in Whitby and canoed
around the harbour. Tonight the whole group are playing
team games.
We all had a good nights sleep but campers awoke early
because of the early light. We have all had a great day with
lots of sunny weather. The above picture shows us after
dinner waiting for tonights activity.
Today Groups A and B went canoeing and visited Whitby
and the beach, whilst Groups D and C activites included
high wire and low ropes. Group A are pictured canoeing
on the River Esk near Whitby.
