We had a breakfast of cereal and toast again today, before some of the groups went out to do geo-caching. We had to navigate to where tokens were hidden and different tokens scored different points, the aim of the challenge was that we had to get as many points as we could. To find the tokens we used an app which gave us directions. Geo-caching was quite tricky as we had to go through bushes to find some of them.

Some of the other groups got to go to the Pizza Box today and were given lots of challenges to do at it. They had to try and hang upside down, fit four people on the pizza box and they had to hold arms and lean back. They also did last man standing.

We all got to go to the adventure playground today. When we first got there we got to play in it and get used to it we then got challenge games. For one of the challenges we played camouflage and then we had to work in teams to try and get a full cup of water all the way across the course. If you were the person holding the cup you weren’t allowed to move so we had to communicate well to work out what to do.

The orange group did the bungee trampolines today. They had to try and jump as high as they could, but they could also jump forward, backward and sideways. After the trampolines they played Octo-Ball and completed more challenges.

The yellow group took part in the trail biking, they enjoyed it but found it difficult at some points as they had to ride through the forest and go over the roots of the trees. They then took part in the mini survival and they had to make a person and create a shelter for them that was waterproof. Water was then poured over it to see if the person survived and they created a story about how they ended up in the forest. The yellow group then completed the nightline and completed challenges blindfolded with a partner, this was really fun and hard as you had to trust your partner.

The lime green group got to do the King Swing today and had a great time.

Lunch today was wraps with fillings of our choice, we also had crisps, fruit and biscuits. Dinner was sausages and gravy, barbecued chicken or chickpea stew. We then had oreo cheesecake for desert. It was yummy!

Tonight’s adventure was bowling in Dunfermline. We got to have slushie’s while we were there. We had some really high scores and the highest was 104! Bowling was really good fun.

First thing this morning we had breakfast which was cereal and toast. We then had to get into our groups for morning activities. The lime green group went to bungee trampolines and then Octo-Ball. For Octo-Ball you were not allowed to kick the ball you could only slap it. The aim of the game was last man standing. To get people out you had to make the ball hit them below the knee. If the ball went out of the octagon the last person to touch it was out. Octo-ball was really fun because it was like a competition. It was a really challenging sport.

The red, orange, yellow and light blue groups went on a nature walk this morning.  The groups learnt that there are two different types of trees – deciduous and evergreen. We also looked for signs of red squirrels. We learned about different plants, moss and lichen. We did a scavenger hunt and during that we found a newt (an amphibious lizard), some plants and a bird’s egg.

In the afternoon the red and orange groups went to the King Swing. When we were on the swing and we were at the point we wanted to go to, we had to pull the cord to release the swing. Most of us managed to go to the top of the King Swing. We really enjoyed the King Swing and some of us even went on more than once.

Another activity that the yellow group and the purple group did today was the Pizza Box Challenge. We had to wear a harness and climb to the top of the tower. The top of the tower was a square the size of a pizza box that we had to stand on. If you reached the top more people got to come up and we were then able to join up and lean back. We were allowed to have up to 4 people at the top. The Pizza Box challenge was fun but a bit wobbly at the top.

The yellow, red, orange and light blue group all went to the nightline but we don’t want to tell you too much about that and spoil the surprise for everyone else tomorrow.

Dinner tonight was a choice of macaroni, pepperoni pizza or vegetable pasta. There was then a chocolate puddle cake for dessert.

Tonight’s activity was the Murder Mystery. Eight of us got to play the part of the suspects – butler, daughter, son, maid, cook, lady, gardener and grandad. In groups we had to go round questioning the suspects and we then had to choose as a group who we thought the murderer was.  The suspects were then allowed to give us their plea as a final chance to convince us it wasn’t them. We then chose who we thought it was before the murderer was revealed. The suspects acting skills were very good and they were very convincing. So convincing that no one guessed who the murderer was.

We are now going to have supper and then it’s time for showers, before we continue our movie. Good night from everyone at Lendrick Muir and we will be back tomorrow to tell you about day 3.

When we arrived today the team took us for a tour of the campsite and then we did a quiz all about the campsite and the things here. We then got to have lunch, which was very tasty. We got a choice of tuna, ham, cheese or egg mayo as well as salad. After lunch we did team challenges and got to launch rockets.

For the team challenges we did the Forbidden Tree, where we had to use two ropes to rescue a duck from a tree. The duck had to be carried back. Only one group managed to do it successfully. Another challenge was the Golf Ball Run. We had to get the golf ball from one cone to the other one using pieces of guttering. Most teams were successful at this one. Another challenge saw us trying to balance the basketball along some ropes. We were only allowed to use sticks to balance the rope. This challenge was really tricky.

We had to do well at the challenges to get points for the rocket launch. We could get the points for good team work, completing the challenge, communicating well, co-operating, companionship, leadership, showing stamina and perseverance. The team with the most points at the end got an advantage at the next challenge. They got to go a few steps ahead of everyone else for launching the rocket and they got to pick their bottle first for the launch. The winning team were the red team.

After team challenges we got to find out where our rooms were and we had the challenge of making our bed. 50% of us are master bed makers. The other 50% may need some encouragement and practise.

After we got our bedrooms ready we had dinner. There was a choice of sausage rolls, chicken goujons or falafel burgers. They were served with chips, salad or beans. Desert was ice-cream.

After dinner we had our camp fire. We sang songs, told riddles and jokes, played Simon Says and then had marshmallows. They were good, although most of us burnt them on the campfire.

We got to settle down to watch our movie before bed. We will back tomorrow night to tell you all about day 2. Good night from Lendrick Muir.
