The first full day..

...and what a day it was!


We started off the day with an all you eat continental breakfast... We finished 2 trays of various hams, cheeses and salamis :-) we then made our packed lunches and rushed off to the bus which was waiting to take us to Adelboden adventure park. After a 45 minute bus ride we arrived at the foot of the trail to the park...


...And so the adventure began, we walked along a trail up to the park in the mountains. As soon as we arrived we were greated by Fritz and Peter 2 of the many instructors, he explained what we were about to do! We then split up into 2 groups and went on our way. We started off with some training and quickly moved on to the real thing... A short zipwire across the river. This got the adrenaline pumping in some of the smaller scouts (especially our youngest and most energetic Scott!), however the big boys wanted more! We then went on to 3 other zipwires which were much higher and this got the adrenaling pumping in the leaders too.

Then came the bridges, the swinging wooden bridge and the steel wire bridge, which were quite scary hehe (imagine walking on a steel wire across a valley).

After the steel wire bridge we made our way to the abseil site (the bridge). First over was Max, who posed for some photos, and the others followed.


Once our group was ready, we obviously wanted more! So some of the scouts, namely Gabba (our new monkey), Aiden, Max, Scott, Jonno, Alec and the 2 Zach's (under the supervision of the leadershad) had another go at all the zipwires!!

When everyone was ready to go Skipper asked "Did everyone enjoy it today?" This is the answer he got:

Before we knew it, we were all walking down the mountain to meet the bus again. We arrived back at the campsite slightly late so we sat by the lake to eat our packed lunch. Straight after the short break we were back in action walking to the sports centre. The reception desk very kindly showed us the way put a series of hand signals, so we set off at the entrance and turned right. Unfortunately after about 500 meters of walking we arrived at what looked like the sports centre, it wasn't the right sports centre, we had to back track 500 meters. We eventually found the sports area and set-up 2 games, football and volley. The scouts had a blast!


To finish off the day, we had some reflections while on the KISC Light Trail, which ended with a campfire!!

Today was definetly a 20 on 20 day.
