Describe what you did today We went canoeing first, we tied two together.we went to Smugglers cave and went snot fish spotting. After lunch we went walking to the gorge..it was a blood pumping experience!! We zoomed down the gorge on a zip wire and it was great fun!! Eventually we arrived at a dark mine and Gethin scared us in the dark that was lit by candle light but we were brave enough to make it through. After that we ascended the gorge and had great fun splashing around in the waterfall.Finally we scrambled up the rest of the gorge and arrived back at our canoes to make our way bacvk to the bus. To finish our breathtaking spectacular day,we all jumped in the refreshing lake for a swim.
