Back from DoE - a little wet but very early! Awesome. The kids were fab and walked so quickly that we were back to school by 2 - normally they don't get there til at least 5! To be honest we didn't really do much, sit around in the vans waiting for them to walk through the checkpoints. My group were very slow - arriving two hours after everyone else at the camp site but to their credit they refused all lifts as they didn't think they would be worthy of the award if they accepted it - awww bless them.
There was a little complaint though from another camper on the same site as we were, he moaned that they were making too much noise...between 4 and 8 in the afternoon! All they were doing were playing football and doing magic tricks, you can't moan at them for that! Turns out he was on his honey moon - hmmm you could say get a life!
The tent talk in the evening was hilarious, listening to what they were saying - far to inappropriate to post here! But gave us and the sixth formers a giggle!
Though it was good it was quite tiring purely for the early starts and then you are back to a working day again. I think i might pass up taking a group next year as i don't know how much work the assistant head of year post will involve and maybe do it again the year after, we'll see.
