Sealyham 2016 - Day 3

June 22, 2016
Waking from their well deserved sleep, our Hacton thrill-seekers prepared for another action packed, fear slaying day of breathtaking activities.

Groups 1 and 2 took to St David's Head to spend the day admiring the picturesque Pembrokshire coastal path whilst they abseiled down and climbed the cliff edge. Despite the fear that gripped many children, our intrepid adventurers bravely soldiered on and did not let anxieties win; they faced and conquered their fears.

Group 3 began their day by dodging waves, scaling rocks and jumping into the fresh open waters of the blue lagoon. In the afternoon, they continued their quest to defeat their fear of heights, this time on dry land (or hanging above it!). The high ropes course proved a challenge for many of group 3, but no one was defeated and all were victorious at the end of the session.

Group 4 gained a fascinating insight into survival in the unruly wilderness. Amazingly, our future survivalists were so impressive at building shelters and starting fires that they considered setting up an outdoor camp for the rest of the week. The teachers persuaded them otherwise: they enjoy their comfy beds too much! In the afternoon, Group 4 traversed the coastal path. The route was so intense that Mr Teasell's GoPro camera (that he bought in the week before the trip) is now at the bottom of the sea capturing some excellent footage of Welsh crabs and fish.

The evening was an opportunity for groups 1 and 2 to play a variety of team building games whilst groups 3 and 4 were blindfolded for the Night Line. As the activities drew to a close, everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' to both Kerry and Connie; it was certainly a birthday they won't forget in hurry!
