12.45 - Lunch finished, we are about to take on the Low-rope challenge and the Blindfold trail.

16.00 - Phew! That took a lot of cooperation and communication! Good opportunities to develop our skills though. We just made it inside before the storm arrived.

17.00 - Time for tea. We've just made our own beds and unpacked.

17.45 - Now we've finished eatinf it's our job to clean the tables and vaccuum our classroom, before we have some free-time. The storm has passed so we'll probably go outside, although there' are table tennis and pool indoors!

19.00 - Off on our night walk. Wonder what we'll see...

20.30 - Night walk completed. Lots of interesting things discovered. Time for hot chocolate and bed...

07.30 - Time to wake up. Ready for breakfast at 08.00 followed by bed making and room inspections.

12.30 - We've learnt lots of survivial skills this morning. We can build and light fires, as well as build sturdy bridges. Most importantly, we know the proper technique for toasting marshmallows!  Time for lunch.
