Another cold but fantastic day in the Lakes.  Mr Sutton woke us up and joined us for breakfast, bright and early.  We wrapped up warm and headed out on the mountain bikes.  We cycled over to the woods and learnt how to build shelters in teams.  After a warm lunch, we ventured out again, practising our orienteering skills in the nearby woods.

We've had an extremely busy second day at Hinning House.  We woke up, had a filling breakfast then helped around the house- doing lots of chores!  Weather was beautiuful; the sun shone all day. However, we did have to wrap up warm as it was freezing! Today, one group developed their independence in a lone (group) walk whilst the other group did orienteering.  After lunch, we all climbed a nearby mountain and appreciated the stunning views around, particularly snow-capped Scafell Pike!
