Blues and their bikes

15th July 2013

This morning was our first chance to get started with our language lessons. Equally we got started on our sports courses, with the climbers receiving their Camp Suisse log books ready to take on our indoor wall. Lunch from the Camp Suisse buffet bars refuelled us with the massive choice of pasta, hot dogs, sandwiches, paninis or jacket potatos all with a choice of fillings and/or salad!

After being fitted with helmets and gloves we headed in the minibus upto Plan de Croix – our special mountain biking venue. After testing our cycling skills with some tricky games and challenges (the bike control challenge being won by Ben!), we moved onto the off-road trails purpose built by our Activities team. With some campers zooming along with great confidence, others were a bit shaky to start, but a big shout out goes to Teni, Alana and Ava who all worked really hard and showed massive improvements throughout the afternoon. After all the practice, we headed on down the mountain to test out our skills on the mountain bike trails of Torgon. What an adrenaline filled day! After our chicken pie dinner and peach crumble, we had the great choice of Zumba or sports at the football pitch for the evening.
