Today we went to the gorge. It took about a 45 minute drive in the minibus. What we had to do was walk and climb up a gorge without falling in, unlike Robert who spent most of the day in the water up to his waist…<\/p>\n
What we had to wear while we were there was; wellington boots and waterproof trousers and jacket which Robert didn\u2019t have so he had to wear a black bin bag (Which didn\u2019t keep him dry at all).<\/p>\n
The whole day was really fun although about a third of the way up Mike our instructor got kind of angry with us so we had to go and sit in a circle and think about what we had done! After that we apologized and promised to listen to what h had to say. Afterwards we climbed further and did some really fun activities. Like Falling backwards into the water, sliding down the rocks like a water slide and the press up challenge \u2013 which is where you hang over the water and move along trying not to fall in.
\nBut the one thing they all had in common was that the water was cold.
\nVery cold.<\/p>\n
After that we climbed further until we reached a waterfall. It was really funny as Mike tricked all the boys into believing that they had to either throw the smallest person over the top so they could throw tie a rope and we could climb up or that somebody had to swim through an underwater passage and climb up to tie a rope so everybody could follow them up. And yes they believed him.
\nWe also had to sit underneath the waterfall and talk to the Goddess of the Gorge and say \u201cHello Goddess of the Gorge, my name is (Charlotte), Thank you for keeping me safe\u201d.\u00a0 But don\u2019t worry there was a path that lead up around the waterfall to the top.
\nAt the top there was a small pool of water that we could jump into which was really fun!<\/p>\n
Overall the whole day was probably the best out of all of them, which we all agreed on. When we were walking back Mike made us all stand in a circle \u2013 shoulder to shoulder then rate the day out of ten. In teamwork, overall fun and how good we felt and all of them had an overall high rating.<\/p>\n
Today was probably the best activity as it involved a lot more different and challenging things also they were a bit more dangerous that made it more fun to do!\u00a0 It was more challenging as the was really strong in some parts so you had to hold on tighter or would end up falling in, which a lot of people did! So we all had a really good day and wish we could do it again, although we can\u2019t\u00a0 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t
