Day 2 at Lendrick Muir

Day 2 has been very busy for us all and we have taken part in lots of different activities. Below are just some of the things that we have enjoyed today.

Some of the groups went to Bushcraft where we had to build fires with cotton wool, vaseline and sticks. We had to use the strikers to get a spark. Then we made bread over our fires. We used flour, water, sugar and cinnamon, some of us even added chilli.  We recommend keeping an eye on your bread when you are doing this or it might get burnt, some of ours did. After we cooked our bread we played a game of camouflage. Camouflage was when we had to go and hide in the forest. Every time they did a countdown we had to go and touch the person’s shoulder and then hide. Each time we had to hide we got less time to do it. If someone saw you, you were out.

The light blue, green, purple and black groups went to the King Swing. We got pulled up on the swing by the other members of the team. We got to go as high as we wanted to, then we pulled the rope and we went flying. The King Swing made some of us feel like a bird. It was great. The best day ever because on the King Swing we got to go higher and higher off the ground. When we pulled the rope and we got to go WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The red, orange and purple groups went to archery today. We had to play a game called pizza on the target. Depending on what colour you got it decided what type of topping you could have. If your arrow ended up in the grass you got salad. A bullseye would get you cheese. Lots of bullseyes got you a cheese pizza.

For lunch we had the option of rolls with ham, cheese, tuna or salad. We also had juice or water, fruit and crisps.

The green, purple and silver groups did an activity called the nightline. You had to do everything blindfolded, but we can’t reveal too much about it as some people have still to do it. Some of the challenges were really hard and we’ll tell you more when we get home on Friday.

The green, orange, light blue and red groups did the trail bikes too today. We went with Kat to the skills course first and then we went through the forest.

Tonight we are going to be doing a Murder Mystery, before our movie and bed.

We will be in touch tomorrow to tell you more about our adventures.
