Bog Adventures!

The Minstead fun continues!

We started the day with a wholesome breakfast of cereals and beans on toast. We then tried to impress our room inspector with the tidiness of our dormitories (we are still on 6 and a half out of ten and need to get full marks for our gold teamwork bead on Friday!).

We had a special treat this morning as we were able to prepare our sandwiches for lunchtime. Some of us had ham, some cheese and a few even chose Marmite! All topped up with a healthy portion of salad...!

Our watery, eggy and mucky adventures continued, and this afternoon, after watching the wet, windy weather carefully, we ventured out for our bogland adventure.

We learned about this special, fragile habitat, and then walked on to experience the strange sensation of sphagnum moss! We (mostly) stayed dry, with only one or two wet wellies to show for it!

Dinner was local sausages, with roast potatoes and carrots and cabbage. We are really trying to eat our greens!

We finished the night with stories in the roundhouse, using our homemade lanterns for subtle lighting.
