Wow, what an amazing day! The adults have been discussing and so far this has definitely been a contender for the best day at PGL we’ve ever been on.

There has been mud! There has been snow (melting on the ground)! There has been abseiling!

Most of us slept really well last night and all of us have shown lots of energy in our activities today. Obviously we are all on slightly different schedules, but we’ve all had a go at abseiling today and we’ve all been together for our evening activity.

The Blue and Green teams have tackled the raft building, abseiling, giant swing and trapeze today. Everyone climbed the tower in the abseiling (which is actually the hardest part) and (to my knowledge) everyone made their way down. The giant swing was so fun that Mrs Tidy and Mrs Thompson got their go as well! Only a couple of fallers in the raft building and they very quickly dried up!

The Yellow team started the day off with crate building and survivor, followed up by abseiling and team games. The crate challenge is always a fun activity, especially when everyone is stuck in a tangled web at the end. We saw some luxury dens in survivor, and everyone successfully abseiled down the tower this afternoon. The team games were brilliant – if nothing else, we learned that Mr George can’t throw a frisbee.

This evening, we have played a game of Ambush – group hide and seek in the dark. I think in the end we called it a competitive draw (though Mrs Tidy may disagree with me…). Ambush is always one of the best activities – lots of very good hiders, committed to their roles!

We shall put up a selection of photos this evening, and at some point this week we shall upload a gallery of our iPad photos. Mr George is currently playing around with lots of different techniques to upload the iPad photos without a constant internet connection, all of which are currently failing!

More to follow tomorrow!
