Smugglers run

 We've had a whale of a time this afternoon, despite the rain! We set up a game of 'smugglers run' where the 2 teams of children had to work together to smuggle the 'rum' from one 'barrel' on the field to another at in the corner of the woodland. They had to watch out for the pirate, who tried to catch them and either tip out the rum or ask them to complete a forfeit. I was very impressed with the lengths the giraffes went to in order to avoid being caught (throwing water at me, the pirate, top deter me from catching them in the future) and the way they worked together to try to smuggle as much rum as they could. 

Well done leopard, I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon with you.

Welcome to Whitehall

 After arriving at the centre, we dropped off the bags and the bus drove us down to the reservoir. Using our map reading skills we had a lovely walk back to Whitehall. Enjoying a welcome snack break, we listened and watched out for curlews, skylarks, blackbirds, buzzards and crickets.  We spotted many wild flowers too.

Adventurous activity 1: Let's try abseiling

Image
For our first activity, we headed back towards Taddington and the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale - familiar territory for us. We exchanged tales of walking, cycling and pony rides down the trail.  None of us have abseiled before, so we're not quite sure what to expect. We listened carefully before getting our harnesses on.  The instructor checked we were all safely buckled up and ready to go. Hmm...some slightly worried looks.  Here we go. Who's brave enough to go first? The bridge over the River Wye is 80 feet high and the first challenge is to climb over the railings.  We did it!  Now we can relax.
