Monday 29th September

Group D
Fabulous first day at the waterfalls (or are they water fountains, Kai?!). Great teamwork, tree climbing and a spectacular fall from Callum G (no injuries though!). Looking forward to climbing that mountain tomorrow.




Group C
A fantastic day from all members of Group C today. No challenge was too big for our cavers (even the letter box) which can be seen from our smiley faces in the photographs. To sum up the day with the words of Joeson, ‘It was epic!’ Tomorrow we are hill walking so fingers crossed for some clear weather!











Group B
A fantastic day for Group B that was full of adventure: creeping through pitch-black tunnels, slithering down waterfalls and zooming down zip lines. Perhaps a more relaxing day in store for tomorrow with canoeing.










Group A
A brilliant day for Group A who were also caving today. Everyone took on the challenges presented to them and enjoyed the opportunity to be wet from head to toe. Tomorrow, we are off to see the waterfalls!



Group E
What a fantastic day for a walk in the mountains… beautiful  warm sunshine so that we didn’t need to wear our waterproofs. Luckily we packed them to cope with the thunderstorm at the end of the day! Everyone in group E coped well with the tiring walk but we all  managed to conquer ‘ Twmpa’ mountain  with a smile.





Group F
The day started with anticipation of what adventure could be, as the zip wire was attached this grew but not for all. By the end of the day each had overcome a challenge. A fantastic time was had by all from walking through deserted railway tunnels to sliding down waterfalls. We can’t wait for what tomorrow will bring.
