Month: March 2022

A beautiful sunset and a lovely end to an action packed day.

Dinner was as well-received as the breakfast and the lunch… Fully refuelled, we are now singing songs round the fire!

The children have been fantastic all day. We have some tired humans with us and the staff are expecting a quicker bedtime tonight.

We will be up bright and early tomorrow morning for a full morning of activities, before we board the coach back to New X.

Thanks for all the positive comments – we have been sharing them with the children.

Feel free to leave some for the morning.

Thanks

Mr Absolom

Build Your Own Boat!!

🙌🏼 the last raft made it across the lake!!! 🙌🏼

While some children tried hard not to get a drenching…

…Some just couldn’t resist the temptation!!

All back at the cabins, children feverishly preparing for a cabin inspection 😬😬

We will update you all on the general state of the rooms later 🙈🙈

Mr Absolom

We have climbed, we have swam. We are having a blast!

Almost at the end of the daytime activities, with dinner, gift shop and a camp🔥fire to look forward to.

The last group get ready to set sail…

Fast becoming the favourite activity – Raft Building. Mixing team work, knots and the constant threat of going in the murky lake – the kids are loving it!

The third group were definitely the wettest!

So far, none of the rafts have fallen apart – which we are told is a rare thing. Only one group left to go…

Snow has abated and the sun is back!

Lunch was delicious – nearly all clean plates, which is always a good sign!

Well that was a bit of an Icy blast!! If you look carefully at the above photo you can see ❄️!!

The show goes on… Raft building has been a big hit!

We are currently having half an hour in cabins to warm up and then…. Lunch!!

Everyone is pretty hungry after the activities. Let’s hope lunch is as good as the breakfast 🍳

More phun and fotos after lunch… Did I mention food already? Mr Absolom must be hungry!!

Hello again from Windmill Hill. Activity one done and only a couple of children who got fully dunked whilst raft building!! 💦💦

We also some successful abseilers and a couple of budding trapeze artists!!

It’s a long way down!!

More to follow after lunch…

Good morning from a gloriously sunny Windmill Hill.
Children are all ready and raring to go after a good night’s sleep (mostly!) Last night, after the excitement of the quiz, most children settled well. All were asleep by 11pm – which is pretty good going for a Year 4 school journey.

Staff and children alike were very impressed with the breakfast – cooked options, cereal, yoghurt, fruit, juice – the works!

We are now in our four groups and out taking part in activities from raft building to abseiling.

The children are having a great time and developing their team-building skills too!

Mr Absolom is trying his best to get photos of every group and to ensure all children appear on the blog. Check back later for a further update. Remember you can leave a comment below and the staff can share these with the children.

Good evening!

Quiz over and time for a run down of tomorrow’s activities with our lovely PGL play leader Ffion.

Now the fun of getting everyone to bed. Wish us luck!
