What an adventurous morning for Mr Barton’s group – shooting arrows at targets during archery practice, followed by fencing.

Congratulations to the blue group who were the champions – en garde!

We’ve been working hard this morning after a good (ish!) night’s sleep.

A few team chores are certainly working up our appetite for breakfast.

Well done, the place looks sparkling!

Woodland challenge accepted: create a study, waterproof shelter using only logs, leaves and mud!

Most of our shelters passed the dreaded watering can test and stood the weight of Geoff, our activities leader.

We even had a go at starting our own mini camp fires with a flint and steel.

Great fun!

We have arrived, made our beds and now we are eating lunch.
