Day 2

On day two, the children woke up to a warmer Glasbury! All children (and staff!), had a good night sleep and were looking forward to a very busy day ahead.


Activities for today were: Group A - Canoeing, Group B - Mountain Walking and Group C - Adventure. It was a glorious day for activities and a great time was had by all.


Group A canoed down the River Wye and unlike the group on Monday, didn't get stuck in the rapids! All children worked well together as a team and were able to steer the canoes.

Group B climbed a very high mountain in the Brecon Beacons. They did find it difficult on the climb up the mountian but on the way down they slid down on their stomachs along the ice that was still on the mountain! (Mrs Everingham throughly enjoyed that part!).

Group C were taken to Talybont - on - Usk Valley where they had to walk through a disused railway tunnel in pitch black! They then went on a zip wire over a river and went walking along waterfalls. A few children, including Miss Simmonds, fell in the water after sliding on some slippery stones!


The evening activity was a treasure hunt where the children had to find 27 different things around Glasbury House.

Another great day was had by all and from the look of some of our children, an early night may be in store!
