Challenge and Adventure

  • Post Category:General

Challenge and Adventure Friday afternoons are a highlight of the Summer Term.  LIV and MIV Forms go to the Cotswold Water Park and take part in many enjoyable activities including raft building, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, high ropes and windsurfing.  

Our first trip was on 20th April and everyone had a fantastic afternoon with their instructors but the raft builders had a tough time when their ropes came loose and they all had to abandon ship! The girls felt very envious when they saw the sailors cruising along without a wet splash in sight; however, we were all unsure as to how two (unfortunate!) girls managed to capsize in their perfectly stable boat – five seconds after leaving the jetty. It was a similar story with the kayakers, as a particular LIV girl decided to change course and her destination was subsequently a hazardous bush. The MIV Form also took pleasure ‘high in the sky’ with a course of high ropes and some took part in a windsurfing session. Overall, we had a great time – and got very wet!
