Stream Scramble!

The first challenge is already over (making beds) and it was time to venture out. Ah.....nice and dry on the bridge..... 

 ......for all of five minutes!

 The first task - to STOP THE RIVER! They tried valiantly to build a dam but still it persisted - good effort though - time for a group photo.

 Not sure what's going on here - some kind of body's reaction to the cold water? A new dance craze? Who can be sure?

 Stream scramble!!!

Great facial expression!

 Then it was out of the water to play a dizzying game.....

 ....before going back into the water for the next challenge! Everyone was asked to build a tower of stones - the lowest tower builder would face a forfeit....

 ...DUNKING!!!

 Except then lots of people got jealous of the forfeiters and demanded that they too got dunked!

 The sun shone down on us - lots of smiles.

 Some very brave people took the route underwater to pass the fallen tree....

 Then out of the water we got for our final games before returning to the centre for a lovely roast dinner (and massive cupcakes).

What a great start to the trip! I will try to blog as regularly as possible to keep you all updated (we are having some connectivity issues / long upload times so bear with me) with more pictures. Tonight we have 'The Labyrinth', which is often a highlight of many people's experience here! 

It is safe to say that everyone here is having a wonderful time! More to follow....
