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.
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.
Morning lovelies! Well done for all your hard work yesterday and please keep sending photos and comments, I love to hear what you have been up to. Now the next 3 weeks are going to be a little more difficult but you are all with your families and can spend lots of time playing games, talking and reading together and having fun in your gardens. Please continue to work hard today and have a lovely day. Miss B and Taddington
These children have been blessed with this amazing workshop
