   Spectacular Lake District    After getting kitted out we boarded onto two sailing boats for a fantastic day of sailing on the lake. We took turns steering at the helm and controlling the sails. Today was adventure day. We dressed in harnesses and helmets and all took turns on the inside climbing wall. Everyone's effort and determination paid off and we all reached the top. After all that practising we got all geared up and headed to Barton Ghyll where we began our invigorating and challenging gyhll scramble .   Dressed in caving suits and wellies we walked across the limestone outcrops to the tiny entrance of The Thistle Cave. Turning on our helmet lights we squeezed ourselves into the dark cave. Once our eyes had adjusted we saw impressive rock formations including stalactites and stalagmites. We made our way through the cave, sometimes crouching on our knees in water. A few of us wriggled through the rooftop challenge and ev...

Captains of the Norfolk Broads! Our adventure started here on the beautiful and peaceful Broads, such a natural local wonder. We each got a chance to steer the boat and learned to knot like real sailors.  At the end of such a great day, we all earned a captains certificate for the boating skills.        During our leisurely cruise we spotted a variety of beautiful wildlife.  Some great team effort let us drift along the beautiful broads.  What a fantastic day!  We took a steam train ride from Holt taking in the stunning scenery as we chugged along. The experience was out of this world and we all had a great time! When we reached Sheringham we went for a leisurely walk to the beach  then time for our return trip on the steam train to Holt. We spent a delightful morning sailing the waterways. Everyone got the hang of it. In the afternoon we went off to play ten pin bowling . Competi...

 Sunny Butlin's in Minehead    Our holiday began with a long but worthwhile journey, as we approached Minehead we could see from a long way off the beautiful surrounding countryside. Playing on the amusements was great fun and we tried our best to win some money. A few of us got lucky and managed to win a couple of pounds and some lollipops.  We also had a friendly competitive game of bowling girls VS boys. Fun had by all!                                                                           We had a fantastic day at the funfair and a lot of fun driving the go-carts and flying on the  aerial ride.                               ...
