The group arrived to a down pour but it didn’t dampen their spirits! They were soon making up their beds and keen to start the day’s activities. Today’s groups are split between orienteering, caving and indoor climbing and are due back before 5pm. The weather here is now glorious.

Despite the persistent rain this afternoon, the children have still participated in a range of exciting activities including problem-solving and raft building. Everyone is eating well and full of high spirits!
