Sealyham - Day 5

July 06, 2012
Having spent a night under the stars, the children were feeling a little fatigued. However, after a hearty breakfast they excitedly boarded the coach to St David's Head for a day of climbing and abseiling. Once again the weather was kind and the sun smiled down on the courageous climbers. Surrounded by stunning scenery, many children faced their fears and braved abseiling the cliff face. Whilst taking in the breath-taking views over lunch, we were joined by a curious seal bobbing in the lapping water below... amazing! Sleepy heads nodded on the return coach journey as the children recharged their batteries before their evening activity called Nightline. This was an exercise in trust. Blindfolded and joined by a rope, the children tentatively explored the woodland mud and undergrowth before receiving a quick dowsing of ice cold water from a natural source (Mr Grant and Mrs Delmonte)! Beds beckoned and after a long, physical day, lights were out and children silent by 9.30pm. Another incredible twenty-four hours topped off by some good news for Mrs Golding: she's a Grandma for the first time... she really doesn't look old enough!
