To get to Whitwell, we took a coach. When we arrived, we had to grab people’s luggage and put it in the main hall. Then they talked about the rules, and then did a fire drill test.
After that, we had lunch. It was pouring with rain and we got soaked to the brim! We started our first activity, shelter building! We made a very successful shelter since we had no water coming through, we also built some bear traps which included a spike to stab the bear and a mud stick man to head-butt the tree.
Next we did orienteering. In this activity we had to certain destinations to find numbered poles.
When the rain died out, we went back in the hall and took our waterproofs off, as we warmed up inside. Then, we all got called for dinner and had the best spaghetti bolognaise EVER!
After dinner we went to our dormitory for free time, and we stayed up until 2 am making very funny memes.
The next day they called us outside and said we had to do a roll call so when there was a fire we knew if everyone was there. Then we did a nature walk around Whitwell’s woodland, then after that, we built our own mini rafts/boats and got to colour them in.
At lunch we ate sandwiches at a picnic.
After lunch we did river dipping and caught a freshwater sea nymph and two freshwater trout!
After the activity we did fire lighting which was our favourite subject. In fire lighting we learnt different ways to light a fire. One of them is finding dry wood for the fire. Next we had to get special hay and set it alight and Pierre was the master at the fire lighting!
So that was the end of the second day.
Come, Book, Now
