First Day


Morning All from Glasbury House,

I thought it'd be an idea to snatch five minutes to write the blog now as it's my duty groups turn to set the breakfast table; Chace, Tom K & co really did enjoy being woken up at 7 & asked very politely by yours truly to go & set 64 table places!

Yesterday was hectic... lots of information to take in after a long coach journey & some excellent team building games put on by Mr. Collins after 9pm... we thought all the running around might tire them out... we were wrong! There are 58 very excited Year 8s in Wales this morning. Not a hint of homesickness from any of them & they really can't wait to get going opn the activities...

The surrounding area is beautiful. (I'm looking out on to the rolling, lush-green Brecon Beacons as I type) Today our six groups will be doing one of: Kayaking 8 miles through villages, caving, mountaneering, adventure day (including a mile-long pitch black railway tunnell & a zip line through the forest) or walking through waterfalls. The groups will rotate so that they've all had a go at everything by Friday.

We'll try & get back on to tell you how it went later... til then... enjoy Epping & we'll see you all soon.

Mr Y. & The Team
