We began our final day at Lockerbie with the challenge of packing our suitcases and sleeping bags before enjoying our final delicious breakfast. We all then learnt some volleyball skills on the field. Some of us had abseiling as our final activity, whilst one group had the challenge of initiative…

The day started with two groups doing archery and another learning to fence. We all had to work in teams at raft building in the afternoon, with great success. We also tackled some initiative exercises, learnt how to survive in the wilds and had a go at abseiling.

The rain held off for us this morning, whilst we all enjoyed canoeing and kayaking on the lake. In the afternoon and evening we had a variety of activities to try out, including low ropes, crate stacking and axe throwing. 

The sun shone on us all day, as we climbed walls, built dens, negotiated the high ropes course and practised our aim in target shooting. We all took part in orienteering, with Mrs Anderson and Miss Huddleston narrowly winning (by one point!).
