So I'm still in one piece! In fact we're all in one piece (well each of us is in one piece, we're all in six pieces rather than having melted together in some freak accident).
I am rather bruised though. Haven't ridden a bike in a while, especially not over bumpy groun, plus various assorted injuries and an especially impressive bruise from dropping a plank on my leg during initiative games (no jokes please :P)
Luckily all bruises will be under the bridesmaid/wedding dresses so all is well.
Also I totally wimped out of abseiling and climbing and all but one of the high ropes things (though I did do one!) so I'm fairly ashamed of myself except, to be honest, I was at that point of more worry than the potential enjoyment could have cancelled out so *shrugs*
The archery was FAB though (felt very much like Queen Susan the Gentle :P) and the mountain biking was fun (and gentle) and the initiative games were hilarious and the crate stacking game on the high ropes was amazing (trying to build two stacks of crates with two of you on the top) and the canoeing/kayaking was fun AND we managed to light the barbecues eventually *g*... what else? Watching the climbing and abseiling was fun and pretty impressive too.
Actually today there were marine cadets around and watching THEM do the abseiling and games was even more fun *g*
And now I am EXHAUSTED both mentally and physically and it's Sunday evening and tomorrow is Monday and yay?
miretne,
holiday
