Day 2: Paintball, Archery and Quad biking at 3 Peaks Outdoor Pursuits Centre, Farnham |
Today we returned to the 3 Peaks Outdoor Pursuits centre.
Despite the soaring temperatures, we enjoyed four activities. We completed a mini zip line, much shorter and not as high at the big one, but allowed us all to have a go. We then spent the rest of the day in a large field, shooting paint balls at a target range, with ducks, buckets and targets. This was followed by archery and quad biking.
The photographs from Day 2 pretty much tells the story.
For those who might have missed them, photographs from Day 1.

Another tremendous success for the Stepping Stones students and their friends.A lucky 4-3 "Hangman" win over Jonathan and Larry at lunchtime though.I will be back to win next time but with a partner who can get MALAYSIA.
... no, but then one might have expected a recent visitor to the country, MALAYSIA to have been more familiar with the name... ;-)
Luckily I was on form for solving the last word, MACINTOSH.
It was a very successful day... not only lots of fun, but opportunities for children to confirm their ability to work together as a team, develop friendships, and build confidence in themselves at being able to do some of the most physically demanding activities.
I was particularly delighted at how the pupils and their friends conducted themselves, listening carefully to instructions and following them as asked by the instructors. It made for a very relaxed and enjoyable day... did it show?!
It was an very enjoyable 2 days
I especially enjoyed the quad-biking, although Jonathan
( who was on the back of the bike ), may not agree ;-)
I also overcame my fear of heights, by leaping and zip-wiring off platforms ( See photos )
I am glad that we had the opportunity do all activities.
It was a fantastic experience and it would be great to visit again.
Thank you to all staff that accompanied us through the trip and especially the staff at the centre.
Larry you never no that we mite win again ha ha so we will win because girls are the best
A great two days I especially enjoyed the quad bikes and the paintballing.
I also learnt how to fire a paintball gun at a target.
I would definitely do it again.
Thank you Stepping Stones for giving me the chance to try out so many interesting activities.

Hi Everyone,
You have all been having a wonderful time and very daring as well. I was sorry to have missed the end of term farewell to Julie, but I can see from the photographs that you all really enjoyed the day.
I have eventually settled in my new house and have travelled to Italy for a family holiday, I keep forgetting which country I am in and speaking french, german and most of the time I am never understood HA!
As for Julie there is no escape, I feel a school visit looming!!!
Take care everyone....
