Our second full day of activities! We started off with a breakfast of sausages, baked beans and mushrooms (cooked in some kind of salt and pepper sauce which was amazing!). A hearty meal before another full on day.

This morning, our Lydiard groups were on abseiling and climbing sessions – the two walls were so close that each group could wave at each other! There was some amazing bravery and perseverance on the abseiling tower; lots of children that didn’t think they would be able to handle the heights proved to themselves that they could. The climbing wall is always excellent fun – some children seem to climb faster up walls than they walk on land!

For lunch, we had a choice of wraps or buns with a chicken filling or sloppy joe filling (which I can’t say I’d ever tried before, but would thoroughly recommend). Just the thing to give us the energy we needed to enjoy our day.

This afternoon, our groups went on the crate challenge and archery course. The crate challenge was great fun as it always is – Mrs Morrison knocked over her team’s tower before they finished, and at least one person managed to sit on Mr George’s head as they were lowered down! Archery was a wonderful session, not just for the access to bows and arrows but because of all the new songs they learned from the instructor!

For dinner, we had a choice between chicken curry, vegetable cannoli or pork steaks. I’m promised that all the food was delicious (though I always choose a curry when given a choice…).

This evening, we had a new entertainment activity – the photo challenge! We’ve not had this activity before but, judging from the grins plastered on faces as they were going to bed, we may need to book it in again next time…

All asleep now, ready and set for another day of activities tomorrow!
