Day 1 Report

Coach journey was great- no travel sickness at all! :-) It took about an hour to get here with no hold ups. We met our instructors, who will be with our groups for the week and played some silly games on the grass to get to know each other. We then went to our first activity- one group was climbing, one group abseiling, one group lazer maze and one group fencing!

Mr. Sansom went with the climbing and abseiling group, so the photos to follow are of these 2 groups. Everyone did really well, some got to the top of the climbing wall and most abseiled down! For those scared of heights even getting to the top of the tower was a triumph...

Dinner was roast chicken, sweet and sour pork, halal chicken sausages, or veg stir fry with pasta or rice, lots of salad and apple crumble for dessert. Very nice!

The children are enjoying a camp fire whilst the teachers have been to the teacher's briefing meeting (and Mr. S has 'snuck out' to write this blog and publish the photos!). We're expecting some smoky children to return shortly and will be suggesting they all try out the showers tonight!

First impressions of Condover are extremely positive- seems extremely well organised, beautiful building, very enthusiastic staff and high quality activities. More tomorrow...enjoy your evening of peace!

Mr. S!
