Magic Monday!

Outdoor week off to a great start

We had a wonderful day in the sunshine at Lambourne End yesterday as our annual outdoor week got off to a great start.

A very enthusiastic crowd of young people assembled yesterday morning and were ready and waiting to get started onthe first activities.  In the morning, our groups split to tackle the climbing wall and the ropes course, which looks quite straightforward but turned out to be very tricky.

Fortunately, we managed to maintain our proud record of avoiding going into the water!

In the afternoon, we enjoyed one of the absolute highlights of the week, the rocket building. It looks very simple, but once completed, these bottle rockets were able to fly between 20 and 100 metres across the field. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day, although by the end, there were some very tired young people, and some very tired adults as well! Next up, it's a Tuesday that involves abseiling and swimming!
