Then began the mad rush for the showers. After we had all finished, we headed downstairs for breakfast. We had a choice of scrambled egg, bacon and potato waffles or croissants and jam. When everybody had finished with breakfast, we went to our meeting room to discuss what we would need for the day\u2019s adventure. We had two choices of mountains to climb, Y Garn and Snowdon. As you can probably guess from the title we chose the former. We thought that Y Garn would be more adventurous and require a greater range of skills yet we knew that when we got home and people asked us which mountains we climbed they would have no idea what Y Garn was. After this we returned to our rooms to pack our bags. And once we did that we were ready to go. We exchanged our comfy shoes for the hard, uncomfortable boots that were supplied. Remember kids, safety first =)! Next we got on the minibus. The journey was around 15 minutes and we listened to some &#8216;great&#8217; tunes.<br \/>\nWhen we arrived at Y Garn, everybody charged to the kiosk trying to be the first person just in case they ran out of chocolate brownies. Then we entered a room and saw a model replica of the mountain range. In case you didn&#8217;t know Y Garn means &#8216;heap of rock&#8217;. In the following minutes we left the room and headed to the trail and Jacob began his moaning and Mr. White called him a melt. At first the path was quite shallow but it soon began steepen. It took us about an hour and a half to reach the top but we soon came to realise that it wasn&#8217;t and we still had a long trek ahead of us. We then stopped for a lunch break by the Llyn Clyd (sheltered lake) and continued on our way. Eventually after another hour of walking, Jacob talking and general chatter, we reached a point very close to the summit. We then stopped to finish our lunch and marched on go the top. We had made it to the top and we were so pleased with ourselves until we realised that we had to come all the way back down again. As we began to descend, we headed towards Devil\u2019s Kitchen. We wondered why it was named this because it was a waterfall with nothing very kitcheny or devilish about it however, it is a spectacular view. Once we had clambered past the kitchen we went to rest by the beach on Llyn Idwal. This then turned into a stone skimming competition (and obviously Gabriel won!). Then we just resorted to throwing the pebbles as far as we possibly could. After the beach we climbed down more rocks and then got back to familiar territory. We then raced back down to the kiosk at bottom of the mountain where we purchased some more food before finally going back to our minibus. That was our day, thanks for reading.<\/p>\n<p>By\u00a0Gabriel Ellis-Jarman &amp; Miciah Murphy<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<style type='text\/css'>\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\r\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\r\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t<!-- see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php -->\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-3191 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail gallery1'><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n\tjQuery(document).ready(function () {\r\n\t\tjQuery(\".gallery1 a\").attr(\"rel\",\"gallery1\");\t\r\n\t\tjQuery('a[rel=\"gallery1\"]').colorbox({maxWidth:\"95%\", maxHeight:\"95%\",title: function(){ return jQuery(this).children().attr(\"alt\"); }, });\r\n\t});\r\n\/\/ ]]>\r\n<\/script>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/FullSizeRender.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/FullSizeRender-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5643.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5643-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5646.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5646-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5648.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5648-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl>\r\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we woke up at 7:00am with the sound of an alarm bleeping in our ears.
