Some of the Network celebrated the end of the two-day hike (see this great video clip below!).
Day Two of the Community Project involved a walk on the flood plains of the River Lech between Weibenbach am Lech & Forchach, learning about the local area, collecting litter and generally making an amazing difference to the outlook of the beautiful & natural area.
Today also saw some young people face their fear of heights by going on the Jocheispitze (chairlift) up through the mist then whiz down the mountain on the Alpine Coaster. Excellent! Everyone had a ticket for two trips on this and we hear that most people left wanting more! :-)
Last night's Ice Disco was fun and a popular choice for many of the older ones. We have some great pictures such as this one:

Tonight we have a Silent Disco in Stanzach Village and we have apologised to the neighbours already and pre-warned them that a whole lot of English people might be heard singing (badly) later - with perhaps half singing something like Queen & others YMCA or something more cool!
We've not had much rain today and it's still warm. The weather forecast for tomorrow is good, yay!

Hi Ben (16th Erith Tomahawk Explorers)
ReplyDeleteYou will have completed your two day hike by now. What did you and the others think? We put the mountain hut into google earth yesterday. It looked like a great 'hut' in beautiful scenery and it was lovely to see where you were staying. Well done to you all - a great achievement!
Good to know good weather is forecast for tomorrow's mountain biking, although we know you're used to swimming in the rain! We hope you are enjoying your Austrian adventure, sure you are! - the blog is great and it's lovely hearing from your leaders everyday.

ReplyDeleteDear Mum, Nanny, Dan, Charlie & Marmalade,
Yesterday we kicked the day off by doing rafting, it was great! We went through loads and loads of rapids and even better got wet! We stopped off at a RANDOM island and ran across a river. After rafting we did the Alpine Coaster, it was great. We went on the chair lift then for about 20mins we went down the track in a mini Kart - the track was about 3 miles long!
Miss u loads.
