On 28th
June everyone came back from their survival. I had spent the night with
Louisa Sofia Flossie and Isabella. We had spent the night in a Pigloo.
In the morning we walked back to the house to enjoy lots of very nice
pancakes. We sorted ourselves out then had our second session of
kayaking. We played lots of really fun games and lots of people
capsized! Then we all had a lot of fun on the canoe slide. After we got
back to the house we set of up the hill to go on the Eagle Swoop, which
is a zip wire going into a massive mud pit. Everyone got extremely muddy
and we all had a lot of fun. We went back down to the house to have
showers. Then we did as much packing as possible. After a very good tea
we had tuck shop and a talent show which was very funny. To finish off
the day we were told a really scary true story of the Mad Woman of Lunga.
We all were extremely spooked and could barely get to sleep! Everyone
had a fabulous time so thank you very much to Mr Mason, Miss Ilieva who
took us but also thank you to Mr Taylor and Mr Schreiber who flew up to
Glasgow airport to take us back to Ashdown.

We stayed
for a week in a timber cabin, on the shore of a Private Island, on a
700-acre Scottish Highland Estate. We left from Gatwick after much
difficulty, we succeeded .We left on the 22nd June & returned on 29th
then we did all theses things. We swung like a monkey on our high ropes
challenges. Explored and beach comb along storm-swept seashores and
among rippling rock pools.
Tiptoe
fearfully into cool spooky dripping prehistoric caves. Canoe like
an Eskimo round peaceful sheltered lagoons, or out on the rolling
Atlantic Ocean. Roar and bounce across the High Seas on the boats, one
was called Golden Eye and the other boat Puffin. We fished for
fascinating sea-creatures like mackerel and saith lobsters, langoustines
and octopus.
We learnt
how to live off the land and how to survive a shipwreck, like Robinson
Crusoe. We built ourselves dens on an uninhabited island, and stayed the
night in it. We did magnificent Rock Climbs - my self,Harry & Pablo -
and went down Abseil Cliffs, with instructors. Scramble like a mountain
goat to wild island summits, where buzzards swoop and eagles soar. . .
. . . . We did all these activities and quite a lot more too. And
thanks to Mr Mason & Mrs Illive for making it possible
