Dartmoor

Y7 Dartmoor 2022

Day 1 – Monday 27 June

After a 4-hour coach journey we arrived safely at our hotel at the Manor House Hotel in Dartmoor. After eating our packed lunch we were let loose in the games room. Later we’ll check into our rooms, play some pickle ball and hit the water slides! 

Day 2 - Tuesday 28 June

We had an action-packed day - we spent the afternoon rock climbing and gorge scrambling! Back at our hotel we barely dried off before visiting the fun house (indoor play area). We’re looking forward to a roller disco tonight. 

Day 3 - Wednesday 29 June

Wednesday is wet, wet, wet. But we don’t care - we are pony trekking (horse riding) and walking on the moor today. Before dinner we’ll be ice skating at the hotel before relaxing with movie night! 

Day 4 - Thursday 30 June

Today we went mountain biking for hours near Meldon Viaduct and Dam in Dartmoor. It was challenging at times, with some steep climbs and rocky terrain, but we were rewarded with some downhill gliding on the way back and a slow race to test our control of the bike. This afternoon we’re tidying away our wet weather gear, relaxing with some adventure golf and - after dinner - 10-pin bowling! 

Day 5  - Friday 1 July

It’s our last morning - we are going to miss the yummy buffet dinners and the beautiful view of the moor from our hotel. As a treat, we did our morning roll call in Mandarin and are now trying out curling. Then it’s lunch here before the coach back to school.
