so much better than expected

I am having a much better time than anticipated!!  Yesterday I moaned to a work colleague that's I'd rather spend the weekend in bed rather than in a cold wet field with a bunch of strangers.  Her response was that I'm good with strange people!  And it turns out that whilst we are all a bit strange,  lots of folk here are not stranger s to me. That's what happens when you build community. It also is far more of an organised event than I anticipated,  so after the ice breaker games and veggie hotdogs we played a wide game and then big group games in the marquee.
After flag break shortly,  I know our first activity of the day is an assault course. Both my shoes and walking boots leak and I've managed to leave my wellies behind,  but so far I'm having a brilliant weekend.  Hope you are too!  Xx

Internet access hard to come by.  Still having an amazing time.  So far been stretched by archery,  assault course,  climbing wall - that was scary, and abseiling, - that was scarier,  well the letting go of the rail at t he top, after that it was plain sailing. Speaking of which, I think it is raft buildings tomorrow. I have a pic of an awesome outdoor chapel that i really really like - will upload that when I get home. Sad not to be singing with my usual chums last night and tonight,  but I'm not too sad cos tonight there is singing round the campfire.  I'm feeling v lucky indeed right now.
