October Half Term: A trip to the countryside

October half term was the perfect opportunity to have a little break in the beautiful setting of the Ashdown forest at the Hindleap Warren Outdoor Education Centre.

Hindleap Warren allows young people to take part in a wide variety of exciting activities and the chance to get out of the city and enjoy the space and freedom of the country.

The group learnt how to build shelters:



Everyone enjoyed spending time in the forest.









The group took part in some indoor activities such as indoor Archery:

The group also completed some more challenging activities such as the zip wire. A few of us were quite anxious about doing the zip wire, but with lots of support and encouragement from the group we managed it.

Enjoying the view.

Overall everyone enjoyed their break in the country, we pushed ourselves to do every activity even if we didn't know what to expect. We all came away from our weekend at Hindleap with a great sense of accomplishment and a well needed confidence boost.
