Lake District Activity Centre
We got our water-proofs, life jackets and loaded the canoes and we set
off for the canals. We had a lot of fun working together to compete in a number of
challenges set by our instructor. And in the end, we even had a little fun by splashing
each other till everyone was soaking wet. 
At the ‘bendy bar’ activity everyone had go and
some even made it to the top of the log with little support.
The cave was dark, narrow, low, and very wet but everyone did so well to
make our way through in high spirits. Our wet suits and wellies helped us avoid
getting wet for the most part but during the end of the cave, we all found
ourselves tackling fast flowing water that came as high as our waist. 
On our last evening our instructor took us to a local pub for a drink and we had a great time playing pool.
After dinner, we made our way to the yurt at the bottom of the grounds. We learned how to
light a fire using methods our ancestors and own natives still use. Our instructor showed
us two very beautifully crafted shepherds hooks and we also got the chance to play a didgeridoo.
Our Art instructor showed us how to do some felting. Everyone designed
different things using the different coloured wool. Everyone concentrated and
worked hard to complete some very good pieces of art.
At the wall climbing we
all worked really hard to make it to the top of the rock while others did
phenomenally well to work together to ensure the climber was safe by holding on
to the safety rope. 
What fun we had cycling in the outdoors. Everyone enjoyed trying out all the
different two and three wheeler bikes which included tricycles and go carts.
