At last, some time to catch up on here. First up: Okehampton YHA Family Activity Break...
We arrived on Monday afternoon after a fairly stress-free 200 mile drive, got installed in the hostel, then chilled out playing cards with the kids and mooching around the railway station:
After tea, the evening activity was a led-walk to a guided tour of the castle:
Tuesday morning started with full English breakfast followed by a session on the climbing wall:
After a buffet lunch we enjoyed a few hours of team-games, problem-solving activities and belting down the on-site assault-course (sorry, no pics from this).
After tea we went up on the moors for a night-walk, we stayed at the trigpoint above Okehampton until the moon rose and the sun went down:
Wednesday started with another full English which set us up for a half-day of archery, this was so much fun that there was no time for taking pics.
And that was that. We left wishing that we had booked for one more day, there were plenty more activities that we could have done if we had had the time. Still, there's always next year... I reckon I'll try gorge-scrambling and mountain-boarding next time.
