Pentrellyncymer was FANTASTIC! We went climbing ,canoeing, learned bush craft and we went on a massive walk.
On the first day we went climbing with Jim- the most fabulous and amazing instructor! We went to the chapel, which was about 10 seconds away from were we were staying. When we got to the chapel Jim let us play around and get used to using climbing but we were only allowed to climb around the grey area. Then we played some games- they were amazing! After all of the games we put some harnesses on and went to the sky! Well to the ceiling, and as high as we could possibly go. At the end me and Abbie challenged The Wall of DOOM! Or just the really hard wall that you can’t climb, and just as we were quarter the way up we lost our grip! We had three goes each. Abbie was super close but just couldn’t quite get there. Then it was my turn. I had to do this, it was up to me. I had my first go but I just lost grip…. same on my second, but then….. I was halfway up. I thought I could do it but…… oooooohhhhh! I only just slipped off! It was so annoying, but at least we tried.
After that we went on a night walk- it was lovely . On the second day we woke up, after going to sleep at 1:00 in the morning, and for some of us 3:00 or 2:00!!!! As for me, I went to sleep at 1:00.
When we woke up we had a lovely breakfast and got on a bus and went canoeing. When the boats were ready, we had a race to a green floating bag of air (a buoy). The boat that I was on beat the other boat and won, then we played some games and loads of the girls screamed because they thought they would fall off. Then we went spear fishing. We didn’t catch any fish but we winded loads of them. We had a race back to the shore and we won again.
After, we jumped in to the freezing cold abominable snowman water -no it was colder. We all jumped in. It was so cold everybody swam as fast as they could to get out. Finally we got out, but then we had to run back in again- luckily we were all warm.
Finally it was the last day at Pentre and to finish it off we had a long, long, long, long walk but it was really nice. We walked over a ginormous dam and the Alwen river, it was lovely.
When we got back we had a hunt and made pizzas- welcome to Matteo’s pizzeria! I had peppers, pepperoni, ham, pineapple,mozzarella and lots and lots and lots of grated cheese.
I just want to say thanks to all the instructors and our parents and all of our teachers, explicitly Mrs Hughes and Mrs Fisher.
