Residential

Hello Harry here and we went on a residential recently at Rock Uk.

My favourite activity was kayaking. This involved keeping the kayak balanced and using the paddle right by stroking the water at the correct side to stay straight. I developed my kayaking skills when getting a lot of speed while playing games and going down a slide on the kayak required some bravery but it was very fun. This made me happy because I liked that we could play around.

The most challenging activity was rock climbing. This included different holds and grips we got clipped into a harness with our friends and an instructor hold our safety rope so if we slip or if we go down they can give it some hard pulls so we can safely lower our self by sort of abseiling down. I improved my rock climbing skills by including hard holds in my routes. I felt proud because each run I got further than the last.

The activity I’d do again is mountain biking. It involved balance and speed control while going round berms and rollers. We tried a blue taster trail and there was 1 tabletop, a few berms and a couple rollers. There was a red trail which was more technical it had some drops it looked fun but we weren’t allowed to do it sadly.  I used patience skills while waiting for my turn and correct technique for properly pumping the rollers and riding berms. I was happy because I enjoying doing mountain biking on my own bike as well. 

 

Bye
