Day three of the activities and an opportunity for some groups to try activities others have already loved. Once again, the courage and commitment demonstrated by the children was remarkable.

Today was also a first for some groups to take to the canal in dragon boats. The groups really needed to work as a team – they chanted “One, two, one, two…” to get in rhythm as they lifted their paddle blades in and out of the water. It was successful for at least a couple of minutes! 🙂

It was also the first opportunity for groups to give caving a go. The centre has an indoor caving design comprising of intricate networks of tunnels passing through different rooms. Unsurprisingly, quite a few were reluctant to crawl down dark, unknown tunnels but not a single person didn’t overcome their fears.

Dinner was pizza followed by a chocolate crumbly thing, both devoured by these hungry adventurers.

The evening was talent night: jokes (largely terrible), gymnastics (mostly successful) and musical performances (sometimes in tune) were just some of the talent on show.

Tomorrow is our last full day here at Adventure Bude and we have just enough energy in the tank for it – just! A huge thank you for the generous gift from a thoughtful St Mary’s parent/s which was massively appreciated by the St Mary’s staff.
