On the 28th of October, Banff travelled to Mintlaw for a day full of excitement.  Upon arrival, we walked into Mintlaw’s academy(Where I saw my cousin!!!!!!), and went to  an assembly thing where we got out first glance at the other YWIE gals. We were presented with our electrifying electric blue laptops, which Shell kindly gifted us for the road ahead. There was this boy who was presenting out laptops and Jodie and Rosie thought he was pleasing to the eye. After we gratefully accepted our laptops, we stood in the freezing cold and got a photo. After this Pam made everyone walk to Aden-Een as “Not everyone had buses”. However we were not putting up with that. So Mike drove and we lolled the whole way there.  As we arrived at Aden-Een before the other groups, we changed into our boiler suits and boots, which was lucky because by the time we changed everyone else arrived. I also borrowed socks from Alison. We then walked into the main square and me and Hannah discovered that we had went there many a time during our wonderful primary school trips. We were then sorted into groups and we set off on a quest.

The different groups had to participate in activities. My group was setting up the attractions, and Pam made me break Betty. Betty was a stick with a mask and a dress and mine was stuck in the ground and Pam made me move it then the stick snapped. Jodie also claimed she was allergic to egg which wasn’t true. She just didn’t want to make egg sandwiches. After this we met Colin the bus driver  who drove us to a hockey game also in Mintlaw on a different week. (WE WON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 15 YEARS!!!!!! B T DUBS) Colin was very happy to see us. Then we drove home.
