The sun was shining this morning as the children arose.... very slowly! The fun activities were certainly taking their toll! Once the children had eaten their breakfast and finished their jobs around the house, it was time to set off for another exciting day!
Group A were Mountain walking, Group B were Horse riding and Group C were canoeing. Luckily the weather was very kind to us, although it was very windy!
Group A went mountain climbing up the Red Gully, which led onto The Twmpa Mountain. At first glance it seemed an impossible task, with lots of rocks, mud and sheep in the way. However, the children were fantastic and soon arrived at the summit of Twmpa where 45miles per hour gales met us! Hugh, the instructor, pulled out a survival tent for the children to sit under to keep warm for ten minutes. On the way down, Hugh let the children lie on their backs and slide down some of the way!
Group B went to Bryngwyn Stables and had a fantastic day learning how to groom, mount and dismount and to steer the horse. They were taken to an outdoor arena where they had to overcome some obstacles and in the afternoon, went on the hillside for a trot!
Group C went canoeing down the River Wye. They worked well as a team and soon arrived their destination for lunch earlier than expected. Stu, the instructor collected a lot of dead wood and made a camp fire for the children to sit around while they ate their lunch!
In the evening, despite the wind and a little rain, Hugh, took the children out to an assault course in the grounds of the house. They absolutley loved trying to scale walls and walking on ropes etc. They were filthy coming back to the house! We rounded the evening off with a girly and lads night!
Today was a brilliant day for all, and we are hoping that our last day is just as exciting!
