We have arrived and had our first day at Broomlee! Our first challenges to overcome were carrying our suitcases over the mud and then making our beds without fitted sheets!! Then it was time for our first activity. We did a range of:
Nightline - we were blind folded and had to complete an obstacle course in our team. Ruaridh says, “It was challenging getting the group to listen to each other.”
Crate Stack – We stacked crates and had to climb up on top of them. Noah says, “It was fun when you got to kick down the entire tower.”
Leap of Faith – We had to climb up a long pole and stand on a platform at the top. Once at the top you had to jump off. Amy says, “It was hard to get on the platform because it was really thin.”
Orienteering – You have to mark your location on the map and then find the different pictures around the site. Eve says, “It was quite hard to find some of the pictures as they were hidden in quite hard places.”
Cat Walk – You climb up a tree and walk along a log and then jump down. The rest of the team are in charge of pulling your rope attached to your harness. Archie says, “It felt good to jump down and I would love to do it again.”
Archery – We did a competition of girls vs boys. Jessica says “One of the girls got bullseye but the boys won in the end.
For lunch we had a mixture of baked potatoes and wraps with tons of fillings and for dinner we had chicken curry or pasta. Our comments on the food: “Food is amazing” “It is delicious” “The curry was divine!”
In the evening half of us went to a camp fire and the other half played giant snakes and ladders while running around the whole site looking for clues.
We are very excited for another day tomorrow.
