What do you get if you take 38 children from Bearwood, mix them with a hike up the Wrekin, a walk around the village and fire and shelter building in the woods?

38 tired but very happy children!

It’s been a great day. We are very, very muddy.

The weather has been mixed today, with
sunshine, rain and hail! The local forecast is for sleet tonight! That might make our camp fire tomorrow evening very interesting!

The children have been split into three groups. One group has been climbing the Wrekin, one group has been walking around the village taking digital photographs and the third group have been learning how to start fires and build shelters. Even I’m muddy now!

The photos are taking ages to upload. I’ll try to get some more on today.

The children are all fine – tired but fine!

The children were awoken at 7am and were
given half an hour or so to get themselves
dressed and ready. Before breakfast they had to do their ‘chores’ and are now having a little bit of free time.

More photos to follow!

Just got back in to the house from our night walk, which was just under two miles. The children will be going to bed in a little while after a little bit of supper The hour lost yesterday is beginning to catch
up with some of them. They are all fine, but
quite muddy!

I’ll upload today’s photos tomorrow morning.

Please feel free to leave comments!

The children are having free time. Lots of
muddy trousers already! We’re thinking about hanging the children out to dry!!!

We’ve spent the afternoon problem solving and being really good team members. The weather is still dry(ish) although we are already very muddy! After dinner we’ll be going on a nightwalk into the woods and looking for wildlife that comes out at night.

The computers at Edgmond are being a little tempermental and I might find it tricky to upload photos. I’ll try again after dinner.

The children are now having freetime!

We have arrived safely and the children have been busy making their beds, unpacking and having lunch! We are now about to work in teams to solve problems and then later this evening we will be going on a night walk. The weather can’t decide whether it wants to rain or not! We’ll upload some more information and photos later this evening!

Oh no! Don’t look at the Weather feed on the right of the blog! It says heavy rain!!!!!
