Year 6 Lakeside Trip
Have you ever been to the supremely spectacular Lake Windermere? Isolated around hundreds of hills, it’s an exquisite place to go. I had the best experience in September ever! Seeing the crystal clear lake as soon as you get up in the morning, nothing could be preferable! Lakeside – a camp site, is a beautiful place in the North West part of England in the county of Cumbria. My favourite activity that I got to try, at lakeside was Kayaking. Hearing the warm gentle waves splashing against my little Kayak as I meandered my way throughout other people, swiftly crossing part of the lake, I was so excited, we played a cool game called world domination, I was really could at it, the aim of the game was to pick a country and try to take over the world by tapping your paddle on the back of the boat. I think China won but my aim was just to get Ros to be China and not Slovakia but she was very fast, I was still determined to get her though! The King Swing, my second favourite activity I will remember it forever. I was first, I got pulled right in the air. It seemed like miles. Eventually I was at the top. The Harness attached to me had a lever on it I pulled as hard as I possibly could, and all of a sudden I dropped… I swung down and back up into the air- not realising that when I pulled the lever, I would drop. I tried to do a back flip, but the harness wouldn’t let you. However it had to be one of my favourites. I could have picked a lot more activities because they were all so good: Like canoeing, rock climbing, and lots more Not forgetting Bush craft, my third favourite activity, we scavenged around the woodlands for big branches about the size of two people length ways and approximately 20 cm wide. Our group made a den right at the top of a big steep rocky hill. We built a camp fire next to our den. Also we tried lighting a fire, which took a long while but we did it! We rated other people’s dens, ours came second, and the group that won built an animal home and sold it for £500! After all these awesome activities, we got all our luggage, Wheeled it out to the bus, put them all in; got on the bus and drove away. I never wanted to leave, Lakeside gives you the best experience ever! So many activities, beautiful landscapes; everything you would possibly need, I imagined myself, sleeping in the tents, they were so cold, I enjoyed getting of the bus because my legs were dead, All our barbaric Mums and Dad clapped as the bus emerged really slowly round the corner, I think the driver had had enough! Sometimes I remember how cool it was walking up the fell and looking at the crystal clear lake below me! That’s when I knew it was going to be great being in chestnut class, everyone is so friendly, but the memory I will always remember, that will stick to me, was the thought of the water splashing against my Kayak in the Lake!
