We arrived at 10:15am and had an introduction and tour of the Lendrick Muir site. After that, we went on to have our first bit of free time (we got to play football and games) and exploring the common areas. We had our lunch which was a choice of different sandwiches that we ordered when we arrived and then set off to our first activity.
Blue and Green Group – We went and took part in Bushcraft which involved making fires in the woods (safely) and then heating up our juice in a kettle. It even whistled! We had a quick break and then went off to play Footgolf. We used our orienteering skills to read the maps and find out where the holes were. This let us see more of the Lendrick Muir Site.
Red, Orange and Yellow Groups – We first took part in Archery Tag which involved playing fun competitive games with a bow and arrow (the arrows had sponges in the end of them). We liked wearing the safety masks, we looked like warriors. After a short break, the inflatables got blown up and we were able to have fun on the inflatable bungee cord and wrecking ball to knock each other off our podiums. It was lots of fun!
We made some good attempts at making our beds before dinner but some of us had to get a little bit of help when our covers got tangled! Thankfully with a bit of time and deep breaths, we got our rooms organised in the end!
Dinner time quickly arrived and we had the choice of sausage rolls, chicken goujons or falafel burgers. This was served with chips, beans, salad and/or coleslaw. We all enjoyed our ice cream and strawberry sauce for our dessert! Dinner was delicious and there were lots of clean plates and very little wasted!
After dinner we had a fun quiz night and made up some good names for our teams. It was the ‘Gworly Pops’ group that won with an outstanding 41/45! They won a small prize of Haribo’s which went down nicely!
Supper time came and we had a quick snack and drink before setting down in our rooms for beds. A fantastic first day at Lendrick Muir, looking forward to more activities tomorrow!
