the Nine Ladies
The nine ladies are a popular site for modern-day pagan worship.
During the route to Chatsworth we stopped at various intervals and took it in turn to navigate the route each person would have to orientate the map to group and then show where on the map they where.
Lewies Navagating
We passed over different tertian and landscapes
Woods on Route
We the total distance of the walk was 20km and we where all looking foarwd to getting stuck in the water activaties
On Route
Before we reached our location we had a quick water brake at the top of one of the hills, when reached the location we had a lunch brake and had something to eat and drink
Snack Time
we then got changed into our clothes that we would be using during the water activaties martin gave us a brife on what we had to do. The first detail consisted of those who where not confident in the water they they had to go out into the center of the lake and then return to the sure. The second detail consisted of those who where confidenent in the water and would battel it out in the ceneter!!
Raft Building Equipment
The first job was to construct a raft that we would sail on this was made up from barrales planks and rope. Our first attemeped would have found is collapsing on luanching it but on our second attempt we made a fantatic raft we where ready for the water sports.
Team Work at its Finest
Take two the newer improved model
After the construction of our rafts we were ready to begin we launched our rafts into the water and moved into the centre then the battle began we all fell in water and had a right laugh
Ready For Luanching

The Raft Failed but it was realy good fun
After we pulled out all the gear from the broken raft we swam ashore we then placed all the equipment in piles ready for loading onto the trailer. We then got changed into our fresh gear and got ready for the long walk back to camp stopping off at the same check points for water and refreshment brakes.
Quick Water Brake
Well we arrives back at camp first again we where lucky because as we just entered our tent there was a really bad down poor the weather was touch and go all day but the worst of the rain came when where under cover. We received a debrief from the staff on how well we adopted our map and compass and expedition planning lessons to a practical scenario
View of campsire facilaties
When we got back we took care of our personal administration got showered and we where now ready for our final night barbecue that was cooked by the staff
During the evening we had some down time we occupied this with team ball games during the course of the night we gathers in the games room and played pool tournaments and air hockey and reflected on the best moments of the day =) we all became closer over the course of the last couple of day it was a fantastic end to a perfect day
The Games Begin
After a very eventful day we slept soundly in our tents!!!!
