At 9:00 we went to school as usual had gym a little early and waited for the bus to come at 10:00. When it did we got on and had about an hour and a half’s journey from fort Augustus to Fairburn.
When we arrived we got our keys to our room and then had a little muck about with each other and went to have lunch. After lunch (which was hot dogs and burgers) we went to a huge rope course it was amazing we all stayed there for at least an hour! (Not enough I would say!)
Then we went straight back to the hostel and got changed into an old pair of clothes. Then we met up with Dave and went to built rafts it was really hard because we only got 6 pieces or wood, 4 barrels and 10 pieces of rope. We had to build rafts then see if they would float. Dave would send everyone into two teams and one team sank and the other teams first try sunk and the other try floated! (It was really cold!) Jamie, Joe and Reece threw buckets of water at team one.
Later on, we went to have a shower, and then we went and had dinner. For dinner there was soup and BBQ and finally we went to have a treasure hunt! The treasure hunt was very hard, the number 5 was tricky but Jamie, Chloe, Reece and Cameron team won!! We went to watch a movie there was as a choice of: Coralline, Stardust, despicable me, happy feet, the incredibles, but it didn’t work so we went to play charades or murderer’s wink, some people decided to go to the games room or watch football, While Dave went to buy a new DVD player.
After a good night’s rest we went to have breakfast, for breakfast there was toast and cereals, then we went to archery. There were 2 teams Hobbits vs. elves but hobbits won! Then we went to do the zip wire, everyone one got two goes the man that was controlling the rope, was very mean because he would stop the rope above all of that water! It hurt our hands too; he also hung Kenny over the nettles! After that we came back to fort Augustus and returned to school at 3:00. We weren’t greeted by shouts of happiness!
(Well except from our parents!)
