Dounans Day 2, Tuesday 27th September

We’ve had the most fantastic day! 

Up early for breakfast and then off to play some trust games in preparation for our first activity, the Nightline.

We trekked up into the the wet woods to find the course.  It was very boggy and everyone in the group was glad they had on raincoats, special boots and wellies!

The Nightline course was quite tricky.  It had lots of different obstacles to go under, over, into and through.  We managed every single obstacle on the course!  I think the photos show just how well we did.

After the Nightline we trekked back to camp and had a well deserved cup of tea before lunch.

After lunch we completed the Orienteering course, following the map around camp adn then went straight on playing some rope games to practice for the Tree Climb.  After walking into the woods we found our hat and harnesses waiting for us.  All of the children tried hard to climb the tree and a few very brave people managed to make it up 14 meters to ring the bell!

After dinner we decided to have a little walk into Aberfoyle village in hunt of an ice-cream shop.  We found a lovely one and tried some very tasty mint choc chip!

I think we’ll all be ready for bed tonight!

  1. What a busy day. What a star getting into the harness and helmet to attempt the tree climbing. I am so impressed. I hope you all sleep soundly tonight.

  2. Emily, that ice cream sounds delicious. You have been very busy and I am looking forward to seeing you later today.
