“Our once in a lifetime experience at Outward Bound in Wales was amazing… Even better spending it with Crew.”(Noah, Crew Finch)
Almost a week since we returned from our Outward Bound adventure, and I’m still finding it difficult to find the words to express just how amazing the experience was. We jogged and dipped; we camped out in the wild (well, as wild as Wales can be!); canoed across the estuary and helped each other beat the wall in true Ninja Warrior style!
So, rather than me telling you all about it, I’m going to hand over to Crew Finch who will, over the next couple of weeks, write up their reflections on the whole experience and share them with you on our Crew blog.
Meanwhile, here’s one of my favourite pictures from the week:
This was taken on our first day, after an early start and a five hour journey. We’d just arrived at the Outward Bound Centre and were instructed to get changed and off we jogged to the estuary. I was quite happy with that little jog but no, there was more to come…
We all circled up on the sand, linked arms and cautiously made our way into the water.
1,2,3 DUNK!
Under the water we went, arms still linked and, crucially, having to trust that nobody in the circle would let go and break the link. Thankfully, the circle wasn’t broken. We went in as a pretty strong Crew and we came out even stronger – albeit a little soggier!
I love this picture because despite being wet and cold, our smiley happy faces tell their own story 🙂
