Carrying on from Part 1

One tuesday we woke up at 7.30 and got ready for the day ahead at 8 we walked up to the dinner bit had this crappy little fry up thing and then went down to the games room for abit, like normal I sat in the second tv room alone (Rather be on my own or a few others rather then with loads of people) watched the news *yawn* nothing interesting after that we was told to get in our outdoor gear and get into our groups.

It was bloody cold like normal lol the first thing we had to do was this team and communication buliding exercise where we had to get as many people through this spider web in 15 minutes without touching it and we couldnt use the same hole. We spent too much time talking about how we was going to do it james went first then me. We had to lift the girls through some of the top holes and then there was 3 left.. We could have just left them there but no we had to try get them all through, we tried to get mr osborne (Chris) through the hole but he caught it. Damn we had 1 minute left so we left it. Failed that task >_<

The next one was a fun one and we completed it, I took an active part in planing this activity what we had was 3 small circular platforms in a triangle we had to put 3 on a platform and work out how we could get each person from one to the other using these two bits of wood a small bit and a big bit what you had to do is stick the small bit down first and have someone stand on the back of that while the large bit on top of it to transferr people over we managed to get that done

The last task was a boat, swinging rope and a small deck what we had to do is get EVERYONE on this deck without touching the ground sounds easy? no the deck was really small! but we manged to do it then we have another go but with a even smaller deck.. woah we did that too..

Forgot to add we did the balancing thing too then it was dinner time yay o.O

Dinner was horrible no really I have this problem where I don't like bits in my liquids so like I can't orange juice with bits in it because it makes me cringe *URGH* so this soup was vegitable soup yum? nah it taste ok but.. it looked like someone had just got shit loads of veg and chucked it in a blender! it was the bits which got me though so i ate bread instead lol

After dinner we had some time to ourselves then when out to do some more activies, so we got back into our groups and we had to do this map reading thing where we go off and find posts and write thes letter under them! *yawn* possible the most boring activity i've done, we got Mr osborne lost hehe!

After that we went to do some air riffle tasks where we shoot a target I did pretty good in that too, if I could find my target sheet I might scan it and upload it to here!

We went to the clim wall got our harnesses fitted then went off to the zipper which was this steel line which you was clipped to then shot down at 30/40 MPH I think this is where I injured myself (which I will discuss later) anyways that was interesting see picture

AFter we did that twice we went onto do the big climb it was getting dark and cold everyone was fed up but we did it the picture speaks for itself:

I did number 5 which looked hard and i'm not a very good climber so I thought I did well

We then went back to the games room… well I didnt i went for a shower and got changed before all the hot water was nicked muhahaha. I then walked back to the games room went and watched TV then had tea which was suprisingly good! lasagna very nice

Chilled in the TV room for the night had to ring mum well ring grandparents and tell them to ring mum to ring me had to tell her something important.

after a couple hours I reired to my room and started packing because we had to be out by 8 so using common sence we packed our cases the previous night! went for my 2 hour sleep I was so pissed off I was ready to throw a shoe at dave with his snoring and breathing *ANGRY*

There tuesday, wednesday coming tomorrow?
