Towards the end of term all of the first year in the senior school at Alton Convent went on a residential trip to Beam House in Torrington, Devon for an action packed weekend away. This included a morning of surfing on the stunning beach of Westwood Ho, where we put on our wetsuits and had a lovely time in the waves in the sunshine.
We also loved climbing 30 foot up to the High Ropes where we completed a climbing wall, balance beam, wobbly bridge and a small jump whilst being suspended in the air.
One of the highlights of our weekend was definitely the zip wire, which was a joy for all of us once we set off but climbing up to it was a bit of a difficulty for some. The challenge course was a trek through thick, gloopy mud which some of us enjoyed immensely while others found this incredibly challenging and revolting.
