Day 4

We were so tired last night that it was great to have a movie to watch instead of the usual physical activities at free time.

Today was another mixture of activities with dry slope skiing, zipwire, adventure course, canoeing, archery and silver maze. Again there was fantastic team spirit and encouragement within the groups.

Kayleigh, Roxy, Julia and Leanne need a special mention for overcoming their fears and coming down the zipwire. Jack also needs a mention for rescuing Mrs Bunning from a plunge in the pond when she missed the brake rope and started to slide backwards! Well done Jack.

We had a special visitor today! Mr Geddes popped in to see us on his way back to Orkney. Everyone was delighted to see him and he managed to find time to go canoeing with Adam and his dad.

Tonight we will be busy packing up and having a last game and barbecue. We collected some wood for a bonfire also so that should keep us warm. The weather has been very kind to us and we've only had a few spots of rain (unlike you poor souls back at home I hear!)

Tomorrow we will go on a forest ramble before time to head back on the bus.

We finally managed to catch a squirrel on camera! They were very active this morning and difficult to photograph but Ruth managed it. Well done Ruth. Some oyster catchers have also managed to lay eggs on the dry ski slope which is a very odd and dangerous place to nest!

Here's a slideshow again but I haven't had time to upload any more videos yet.
