Going on an Ullswater trip is really fun, although you do have to drive 6 hours to get there. You get at least two activities a day!
The most challenging thing I personally think was the Gorge walk, first of all because the rocks were so slippery and also because there were parts where the water was quite shallow or quite deep.
While we were walking back to the minibus we all saw a skull, spine, and some flesh that were left over from a sheep that had got probably eaten by a fox. Afterwards, we had nice warm hot chocolate!!
The next day we went mountain climbing on the mountain which was called Halen Fell. We all really enjoyed it. We had to wear a belt and a safety helmet to protect our heads. We saw lots of mountain goats which had different colours on their backs.
Also when we got back we had some free time to chill then we had to go and eat dinner,(IT WAS VERY GOOD).
After that we had tunnelling, we had some time to mess about in the tunnels, BUT THEN IT WENT EXTREME MODE, WE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE SMALLEST TUNNEL WITHOUT ANY HEAD TORCHES. Overall tunnelling was extremely fun.
On the next day we went on a big lake adventure!!!so we went to the lake and then on a boat and afterwards row to a place called sandwich bay. Rowing the boat with a paddle was hard as you were paddling and you fingers got very numb and you felt weird after a while of paddling but one you got there you had a nice snack and some time to get a little bit warm and take of your life vests and clip them on to our rucksacks.
When we finished eating we went into the forest and did some bush crafting so making a painting using ferns and other natural sources.
Once we did bush crafting we had some warm hot chocolate and then carried on to another bay that I forgot the name and went on a speed boat back to the centre.
As our evening activity we had a blindfold course around the centre and we bashed into some trees so it hurt a bit it was fun being blindfolded and dodging ropes and other objects in our path and at the end looking at your friends struggle was fun as you were through aswell .
After we finished our evening activity we had hot chocolate and we wrote in our journals what we did and when we finished we went to our rooms and a nice sleep. But sometimes the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. We had go out in our pijamas and it was freezing cold.
ULLSWATER IS AN AMAZING TRIP!!!
