Day 3 at Lendrick Muir

Today some more of our groups went to do Bushcraft. We went through the forest to collect twigs and then we went back to where we were building our fire. One of the instructors called Fin dug holes for us to build our fires in. Once we had built our fires we made our bread and baked it. It was yummy!

We got to go on the inflatables today. One was called bungee run, it was where you had the bean bag and you had to try and run as far as you could with it without getting pulled back. It was exciting. The other inflatable was called cannonball, we think. You had to try and knock each other off that one.

Some groups did archery today. We had to get the bows and then do the firing line stance. We pulled the bow back to our cheek and then let go. We had to try and get as many points as possible with our arrows, but a lot went in the grass. We realised that you need to pull back quickly and release quickly to get lots of power. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time for the pizza game today.

We had a bike ride through the forest and over an obstacle course. We had to brake hard near the stream so that we didn’t go into the water. There was a twisty and turny bit so you had to be good at turning to get past and then there was a hill that went straight down so that you could get lots of speed.

We also went to the adventure park. There was a game where you had to pass the tennis ball along to get to the slide. The person who didn’t have the tennis ball was the only one who could move. There was also a game with someone in the middle of the circle and they were counting down and you had to go hide. They would count down for one minute and then you had to get into the circle without the person seeing you.

Another activity today was called Pizza Box. It was a huge tall pole and we had to climb up it, four of us in one of the groups managed to get to the top. You could stand on the ledge or sit on it. If you fell off you got to dangle in the air.

At the nightline we had to have blindfolds on and we played some games to get used to the blindfolds on. We went on an actual walk and we got to do an obstacle course. We had to go through the giants mouth and we couldn’t see what we were doing, all we had was a rope to hold on to.

For dinner tonight there was sweet and sour pork, chicken korma and a vegetarian sweet potato and bean chilli. They were yummy.

After dinner we went bowling and people got one round. If you got a strike you only went once. It was really fun and we got to have our slushies.

We hope you have been enjoying our blog posts, please leave us a little comment and let us know how you all are.
