The journey there!
contents
I sat next to Lucy ,who is my best mate,
with my two friends Charlotte and Danielle
behind. All four of us brought nibbles for the
journey there, so we all shared them. The
views were amazing, trees swaying in the breeze,
hills higher than Ive ever seen and mountains
which faded into the distance. It was beautiful.
Even though the journey was one hour and
forty five minutes, time flew because we were all
so excited and anxious ,but at the same time
nervous.

When We First Arrived
When we first arrived we all got bed sheets,
duvet covers and pillow cases and had to go and
make our own bed, but of course some people had
never done this before. There were seven of us in
my room but Lucy and I were the only ones who
could do it on our first day. So lucy and I
taught them and they could do it themselves by
the time we went home. When we had unpacked we
all went down to the annex ,which was the group
rooms, and got put into our groups of 10 or 9.
After that we all went down to the store which is
a wooden hut to get our equipment that they
supplied which were huge water proofs, a woolly
fleece, itchy, and wet suits which you could see
your swim wear through. Then we all got changed
into some of our equipment for the first activity

...Gorge Walking!!!

Yes gorge walking how scary.
When we first got to gorge walking we had to do
follow the leader on stepping stones, then got to
slide down a water fall as you can see me in the
background doing it. The water was freezing cold
I felt like an ice cube and my wellies filled up
with water, it felt horrible when I walked, all I
could hear was squelch, squelch, squelch. We had
to climb up these horrible slippy rocks, which
were really hard to climb up. I felt so scared
but we all got up with a bit of teamwork. After
that we had to go across the zip rope which was
really, really, really hard but I got all the way
across as for Lucy not so lucky. Would you like
to see Lucy sliding down the water fall look
below then!!!!!!!!!
Lucy was petrified

Canoeing!
contents
When we went canoeing it was really fun but
tiring. We canoed for about half an hour. Then
stopped off for lunch. And canoed back. When we
got back to the lagoon we had a big water fight
and Mrs B joined in and used a jug. It was so
much fun!!!!!!!!! The scenery was gorgeous. The
water rippling with the wind. Autumn breeze in
your face and happy singing from the
birds!!!!!!!!!

On our last day the activity was orienteering it
was fun but messy. Because we had to walk on some
muddy grass. You got a map and a pencil. But the
map was confusing. We kept going the wrong way!
