A Day of Fun!

Well our sunny start to the expedition changed dramatically last night with the most spectacular thunder storm, backlighting the mountains and giving us very heavy rain. Today has stayed warm though the clouds have come down over the mountains as the day has gone on and earlier this evening we had more heavy rain. Our overnight hikers will have put their new waterproofs to the test! We have 117 of them staying overnight in a hut in the mountains - 'Lansbergerhutte'.

We have had groups taking part in a range of activities today such as canyoning, white water rafting, the Zugspitze (highest cable car in Germany) and cycling. We have also had a visit to Fussen (with the castle from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), some groups went on the Jochelspitze (chairlift), a one day hike and as mentioned earlier we had several groups set off on a two-day hike.

Today also saw the start of our Community Project in Vlis. A coach full of happy campers worked hard, played hard and got very muddy in the banks of the River Lech, but I'll let them tell you about that when they come home with their washing.....

So, all in all, another adventure-packed day which will hopefully mean everyone will sleep well tonight!
