On the 27th of April the TY’s went camping in Larch Hill as a part of the Rite Journey, it was called the abyss, we slept in single tents far away from each other, before going to sleep we had a sing along around a campfire and one of the students brought a guitar!
The night was hard and most of us were really cold and without a watch to know what time it was we felt completely detached. The food was overall pretty good yet the dessert could've been better (we weren't expecting a fancy meal anyhow!). To pass the time the TY’s played hide 'n seek, cards and foosball while exploring the pretty nature grounds and spotting deer!!

This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
