We had a whole hour to do it and then John came with a bag of water and when we were in our shelter he threw it over us. Then we went back to the old house and had our packed lunches. Then we to put on harnesses and walked to a burn. Were John had set up ropes that were over the burn and attached to trees. We had to walk over them with a hook clipped on to the top rope and our feet on the bottom rope while we walked to the other side. When we got off the rope we had to go onto another rope the same but to the other side. After we were off that one we went a zip line across the burn. It was quite scary at first then once you did it you enjoyed it. At the end he asked us to think a word to describe the whole day. The words were amazing, awesome, great, daring, changeling and fantastic.
