Tile Barn July 2024
Thursday
This morning, we woke up nice and early, ate a delicious English Breakfast with toast and cereal and then collected our things ready for our Woodland Walk.
At 9:30am, we headed out with a map and a cheery smile, and walked 6.5km (this should have been a 4km walk, however, we took a slight detour but soon found our way back).
We enjoyed a delicious lunch of pizza, sausages, scotch eggs and crisps followed by watermelon and popcorn!
After lunch, we began our afternoon activities of firelighting and climbing. Both were super experiences and lots of fun was had by us all.
We are now having a little time to relax before our evening meal - Mexican night! Later, we plan to play some games on the field and get our things ready for coming home tomorrow.
Wednesday
We set off on the coach with our lovely bus driver, Ellie and arrived at Tile Barn at 11.55am. After that, we sat in the garden and had our packed lunches, played frisbee and giant connect 4 before being shown to our rooms in the bunkhouse. We quickly unpacked our bags and had a good look around our home for the next three days. Angus met us and made sure we had everything we needed. After lunch, we started our afternoon activities which included water rockets and orienteering. The water rockets were a huge success and we quickly worked out that they went further with less water in them. Finally, it was time for dinner; we were starving! We enjoyed a delicious meal of hot dogs, roast chicken, corn-on-the-cob and, finishing off with waffles, chocolate sauce and cream!
After dinner, we headed off to play cricket in the gorgeous evening sun and got ready for the England Game!
Friday
Our final morning began with archery and using the vertical gym. Tom and Gus guided us on the archery range and taught us how to use the bow and arrows safely. We also played some fun games! On the vertical gym, Charlotte and Tom encouraged us to climb safely and step out of our comfort-zone to climb and stand at the top of the gym! After this, we had our lunch and boarded the coach back to Wardour. We watched, 'The Secret Life of Pets 2' and sang along to some Disney songs. We had a brilliant time and were all quiet tired at the end!
