Osmington day 2

 Hello from day 2 at Osmington!

What a fantastic Tuesday! Dry all day and four fabulous activities. Today we have been; jumping off telegraph poles, exploring underground tunnels, swinging high into the sky and crawling through mud whilst blindfolded. After all that excitement, we have also been hiking around Osmington village in the dark. We can assure you, there are a few more tired faces than last night.

Trapeze if a personal favourite of ours, where the children have to challenge themselves to the limit and conquer their fears. Climbing up a telegraph pole on top of a windy hill and leaping into the sky would turn most people green, but every single one of the children gave it their all. They loved it.

There is brand new tunnel trail complex in Osmington this year. The children crawled through both large and small tunnels exploring the underground complex. The fabled light switch and tunnel to the beach seemed to elude them this time but they had lots of fun none the less.

Giant swing has to be one of the absolute highlights for the group. Strapped in in tandem, two children are hauled by everyone else high into the air and then propelled into a massive swinging arc. In all likelyhood, you would have heard the screams in Fareham.    

Sensory trail involved blindfolds, obsticles and mud. Loads of mud. Oh how the teachers enjoyed that one!   

An action packed day of excitement. More to come tomorrow. The children are in bed and sleeping (mostly). More updates tomorrow. Thanks.
