Well, here we are on day two at Benmore and the place is looking fabulous! Behaviour last night was excellent (and that was just the staff!)The night walk went really well and was great at building team spirit. Group members really needed to help each other and everyone improved their communication and listening skills. There was just enough time for a quick shower before getting into bed, as lights out was at ten o'clock. Most dorms were very quiet pretty soon after.
8am saw our bleary eyed bunch (again this mainly refers to the staff) rise in time for breakfast at 8.30. All the teachers have been really impressed by the way people have settled down at meal times. Food was enjoyed and stories shared.
Each dorm then headed back to their rooms to start work on their tidying-up jobs...this wasn't too bad but let's just say there is room for improvement!
Group 9 went on a mountain bike trail around the Botanic gardens. Conditions were crisp, but icy, and this certainly kept the team on their toes. Group 1 was off abseiling (accompanied by a brave Mrs Noble) and other groups went off canoeing, climbing and walking through the forests. Expect a full report on the day's activities later this evening! (Isn't this exciting!) Photographs are proving hard to get online because of the connection but staff are taking ones which will be shared at a later date.
Sounds like you've had a lot of fun already & it's only day two! Looking forward to the next update.
