We were taken to beautiful canal in the Brecon Beacons, where we unloaded the canoes and rode down the canal. After many collisions and capsizing incidents, we found that our "waterproof" clothing in fact weighed us down and made getting back into the canoes more challenging. We had our lunch canal side and enjoyed a pleasant view of one of Britain’s first Aqueducts. After a lesson in skimming stones we drifted away dangerously (not really mum and dad, don’t worry!) in our lifejackets, towards some rapids… unfortunately, we were summoned ashore before we attempted negotiating the fast flowing water. After this, we canoed back and enjoyed jumping into the canal, submerging ourselves in water. Looking forward to tomorrow and hope we get hot chocolate again!!

It sounds like a fantastic time is being had by all, despite the 'waterproof' clothing! Lovely to see and hear how you are all getting on, keep up the entries. Thanks to all the staff and children for their efforts and enjoy whatever tomorrow may bring:)
