SBU Camping Trip - Day 1

Day 1 Summary

Camping trip day 1 started with a climb of kinder Scout, a 636 metre ascent and the highest point in the Peak District.

This was followed by a walk that lasted 7 hours with some personal challenges that were overcome with a great sense of perseverance, and a huge sense of achievement was felt by everyone - cheers were heard as we made in to camp for the night.

Throughout the challenge, it was amazing to see such encouragement towards others and some fantastic teamwork.

Everyone set up their own tents, we collected firewood and the dinner of a chicken pasta with the help of some students was made.

A dessert of fire roasted banana, chocolate and marshmallows or Swiss roll went down a treat before the sun fell, the moon rose and a game of ‘Man Hunt’ began.

Everyone joined in and the laughter could be heard bellowing through the forest. As you can imagine, beds were calling and all were out like a light.
