Have you ever seen the glorious views of the Lake District? Or glanced over the Lake Windermere when it shines with silver? Well I had spectacular time all around miles and miles of high hills of Cumbria. The blazing sun hits the river and makes a magical glow. But the Lakeside instructors were extraordinary, helping us get ready for the next day ahead. They made us enjoy each and every activity, it was like a dream come true.
Although I enjoyed all of the activities, there was one that blew my mind away- it was called the King swing. As the strapped me into my harness, my heart pounded quickly with nerves running through my body. Scared, I reached on to the steady ladder then I cautiously leapt of the ladder with lots of others pulling me up as high as I could go. But then nerves started to kick in so I stayed strong and in a flash I pulled the cole-black leaver and I went flying! After that, I was more confident so I pulled out a few tricks going up side down, it was a glorious view with me swinging forward and back, side to side. It was like I was gliding in the clouds! Even though the King swing was magnificent the Runway was fantastic too. Suddenly it was my turn trembling, I went up the ladder I was wobbly about starting but I knew I could do it. As I stepped onto the platform, I realized Al (our instructor) wasn’t there! I still had to go up the gargantuan ladder, I took a deep breath and I saw Al before I knew it, Al had clipped my carabiner onto my harness. It was fine until I looked down at the bottom, my heart was pumping quickly I looked in front of me it went all the way across the Lake to the other side. I thought I couldn’t do it but in a flash… WHOOSH! I was flying! It might have been slow but it was extraordinary, because I was in the air, it felt like I was flying like a little fairy! However the launch was terrifying. Amazingly it was the best zip wire I had been on in my life! Seriously, the instructors are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. There was a lot of activities I enjoyed but there was another one called bush craft! It was not what I was expecting at all. Surprisingly, we got to make our own dens for a human or an animal. It had to have a shelter, food and water. Our group was very creative. First we thought of making a den for are self’s, but then we were more caring and made one for wildlife. Every single small stick we saw we took (every stick). Finally we finished our den, it could be used for other small animals like rats, mice, bugs, insects and others. They had their own little hide out and some escape holes. The activities were fantastically creative. I had a wonderful week in Lakeside, it was the best week I had ever had in my whole life. The Lakeside trip was memorable for a lot of great reasons: amazing food, great teamwork, wonderful weather and the best instructors- Ros, Alaster, George- it was supreme. I was surprised how good we all were I thought we all would have been a little bit of a pickle.
