We started the week off with a surprisingly short drive up to Inskip where we would be staying for the week. Our first day was a trip to Blackpool, where we went to the water park for the morning before heading across the road to the pleasure beach. Sadly the wind meant that we couldn’t go on the ‘big one’, however, we all had great fun going on all the rides. The next day the adventure training package started with a challenging but extremely fun hike up Helvellyn, the views from the top were incredible with the weather being perfect for the day. On the third day, we travelled to Honister slate mines to do the Via Ferrata, this was quite testing but really good fun and produced some memorable moments.
After this, we had a more relaxed day in the flower bowl where we did curling, bowling, crazy golf, and crazy pool. It was a great day and we had a cracking time with our guide Adam. On the fifth day, we went white water rafting and we finished off the trip with an amazing day out Canyoning jumping off great big waterfalls from a range of heights from 2-12 meters. This was led by our good friends of the Yorkshire Adventure Company, Ben and Gaz who really made it better than we could have expected.
The highlights were definitely canyoning and the walk, with the entire trip having a great atmosphere and everyone getting involved in the activities.
