The children woke to a wet and windy welsh morning. They were not as eager to get out of bed, the strenuous activites are beginning to take their toll on aching muscles... not least the staff!
Activities for the day were; Horse riding, Mountain walking and Caving. Despite the awful weather everyone had a fantastic time!
Group A who went Horse riding at Bryngwyn Stables, learnt how to groom and saddle up the ponies. They went to the riding school where they conquered an obstacle course on horse back, learnt to mount and dismount their ponies and trecked through the beautiful welsh mountains. Lots of children enjoyed it so much that their parents can expect a birthday or Christmas request for a pony!
Group B went caving in Porth Yr Ogof (Gateway to the Cave) in the Cynnon Valley. It was a very scary, challenging and adventurous day. All the children tried their best and worked well as a team to get up, down and through some very tricky cavenous holes, including the infamous 'Letterbox'!
Group C went mountain walking up Y Grib in the Brecon Beacons. It was very hard for them to walk up as it was gale force winds at the very top! Some of the children nearly blew away! Just joking , parents ! All children arrived back in one piece.
