This morning Mr.White woke us all up with his unfamiliar singing voice to Love Me Again by John Newman. We all had a showers and went to breakfast. This morning we had Pancakes, Hash-browns, Bacon and Scrambled Egg which were unbelievably tasty and filling for our long and exciting journey ahead of us.

We left the KMC at 09:30, we jumped onto the minibus and took a short journey to Tryfan Mountain. We climbed up the steepest face (the North face) of the mountain but at the start the climb was fairly easy but rocky. After we made around one quarter of the the journey we started to get into an almost vertical face of the mountain and we needed to use scrambling to make our way up.

After some hard and rewarding scrambling the climb became even more challenging. We had climbed up to a point of the mountain that was so high and steep that some of the Sunbeams started to get scared of the fall. As we were Scrambling up the mountain the cliff face that we were going up was getting steeper and steeper and the huge drop if we fell was hidden by the crisply cold layer of fog but as the fog parted and the ground level view was exposed the drop became even more daunting than ever.

Some long and hard scrambling felt so rewarding once we had reached the peak of the mountain to see the spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, lakes and villages, we took advantage of the view and enjoyed our lunches.

The walk down was more easy and peaceful as we could hear the trickling stream below our feet. Mr Alderson told all of us about the dangers of red grass because you could sink in the bog from where it grows. Unfortunately as Bruno and Jacob were testing the grass’ strength Finlay tried to join but slipped into a deep and wet hole.

As we got to the bottom of the mountain we stopped for refreshments in a local shop. We then drove home back for food that we had prepared for us. We had the choice from Sweet and Sour Chicken or Chicken Curry which were both mouth-watering. After our delightful meals we went to the Lecture Room to write this Blog …
