Our time at Viney Hill
Viney hill was the best experience I have ever had. It really pushed me out of my comfort zone. I found some parts such as the Leap of Faith really scary but I pushed through and enjoyed it. My favourite activity was abseiling because it wasn’t manmade and it was higher than the climbing wall .You had to moonwalk sideways down the cliff! Sleeping outside was awesome – watching the stars and hearing owls hoot was magical.I’d give Viney Hill a 10/10! (Lilith)
I really enjoyed all the activities because we had a perfect amount of challenges. I also enjoyed watching everyone trying their best and facing their fears. For example, watching everyone achieve the FreeFall when they didn’t think they could, was really special. It was lovely being in the eco pods and being with my friends. I also loved sleeping out under the stars on my last night with my friends. (Arthur)
I really loved doing the FreeFall even though I was scared, I gave it all I could. I didn’t stop myself and just went for it. I then wanted to do it again and again. I also enjoyed the biking because even though it made me ache- it was one of the best experiences at Viney Hill.(Jasmine)
I really liked abseiling. I have never done it before. It was nice being surrounded by the beautiful nature. As we went down, I tried to take it all in and think about what the world could give us. I also like canoeing because it is peaceful on the lake when the sun hits the water. When we were going around, it felt so good. (Izzy)
I really enjoyed doing FreeFall. It got the adrenaline pumping. You knew you were safe because of the harness but it was still a bit scary. I also enjoyed canoeing because at the end you got to jump in the water. The water was freezing- cold as ice but got you pumping. (Alyd)
I really liked Jacob’s Ladder because of how high it was. It was so fun to try and get to the top with your partner. You had to work with your partner to try and get yourself up. It is scary especially if you are tiny because you do end up upside down. The harness does help and when you get to the top, you really feel like you have accomplished something. (Danny)
