On 22 February our Year 9 CYGNET class visited Tree Adventures. Here are accounts from two of those brave students!

On Monday 22 February our entire CYGNET group went to Tree Adventures in Woodhill Forest. We all took the bus from school first thing in the morning, and were split into our two class groups when we arrived for a safety briefing. We got into our harnesses, and were set free on the tree courses.
There were 10 different courses, from 1 – 10 in difficulty. Course 1 was the easiest, and they got higher, longer and harder as the numbers increased. I started on course 10 which was terrifying! Then went to 8, then 7. Each course took about half an hour. They had fun obstacles such as zip lines, balance ropes, ladders and tunnels which made each course unique.
I wanted to do more courses, but ran out of time. It was such a fun day. I highly recommend everyone should go to tree adventures!

Year 9 CYGNET class of 2021. Our first outing together. How hard could it be? We were 49 girls with dreams of making the world’s top sporting teams. With a bus driver called Steve, we ventured to Woodhill Forest to take on the heady heights of course number 10! The highest and toughest climbing course going.
At dizzying heights of 14 meters, the high performance cygnet girls climbed higher than ever. Bungys, zip lines, climbing frames, tight ropes, moving logs … you name it. They threw everything at us. And we did it! With heaps of laughs and plenty of screams, it was a great day to test our limits and get to know our fellow cygnet girls.
Can’t wait for our next adventure together!
