day 3 - foraging, climbing & cob oven pizzas
Claire Coombe
The day began with some adventurers heading off to the food garden to lift some of the potatoes we've been growing, as well as harvesting lettuce and tomatoes for lunch. Meanwhile a cooking team got busy in the kitchen preparing French Toast with streaky bacon and maple syrup and some delicious Rocky Road cakes as a sweet treat for lunch.
After breakfast the group headed out along the hedgerows with Marcus the wild food forager and tasted some foraged foods including Rosehips and Burdock before cooking up some foraged ingredients in the field kitchen.
In the afternoon adventurers tackled the tower climbing wall and learned how to belay one another in teams. Everybody made it to the top of the tower and came back for a second attempt at a harder route.
Charlie fired up the cob oven in the evening while everyone made their pizza dough and delicious homemade fruit crumbles using the first of the blackberries growing here at camp. Keeping with the food theme we lit the campfire and enjoyed deluxe hot chocolates with whipped cream and marshmallows before bedtime. Tomorrow, aerial dance, leatherwork, dumpling making and an evening of performances around the campfire.
