Day 1
On our first day, after arriving at Thurston, our team went out into the fields and got our hiking boots on. We enjoyed the beautiful views, the higher we went, the better the view.
Day 2
On Tuesday, we spent our day canoeing across Coniston Lake, grabbing ourselves an ice cream and enjoying it whilst we took in the views of the mountains! We then paddled back and got ourselves into the water before jumping off the jetty, we had so much fun. In the afternoon, we climbed up some trees and went on a treasure hunt around Thurston. What an amazing day!
Day 3
On Wednesday, we put on our waterproofs and headed up to Levers Water. Although this was a challenge, we really pushed ourselves and managed to reach the very top to see the beautiful waterfall and views. After lunch, the heavens opened and the rain poured down as we began our descent. Once we returned, we had hot chocolates to warm up and watched a movie.
Day 4
On Thursday, we went ghyll scrambling. We enjoyed climbing up the ghyll in all of our waterproofs and wellies (some of us lost one!) After some lunch, we explored the tree obstacles and then did some orienteering and problem solving. Our amazing leader Jacqui helped us through some challenges, and we ended with a chat about our favourite parts of the week.
