Peg No Peg 20 Adventure Date 26/10/2008


Summary
Last one!, last one!. Pegasus were joined by the pupils of Heanor Gate Science College for the final trip this year. Typically the weather was unpredictable and at one point we even had a hail storm. We got some sailing in though and best of all had a riotous time celebrating Halloween as well as seeing the river Dart in all its autumnal glory! Well done Heanor Gate, looking forward to seeing you next year!

Details
Once again, the trip is best summed up by the young people thyemselves. Here is what they had to say:

Jade: Interesting. I felt sick quite a bit at times, and I feel I know where I’m heading in life now.

Bramley: It was good spending a week in Dartmouth and the games were pretty good. I liked Amy’s singing. I feel as though I’ve learned how to get my sailing qualifications, I feel a bit grotty, but in a good way, it’s a good grott!

Tom: It was damned good fun! The hail storm was cold. I feel enriched by this trip, because I know lots more about sailing now!

Sam: I’m glad I came even though the weather was horrific. I feel that this was one of the best trips I’ll ever go on but its time to go home now.

Chris: I bonded with people, and apart from that it was brilliant. I felt like the twelve of us could do this for a living. We are going to miss Diggs and Amy.

Sian: It was absolutely phenomenal, it is definitely a week I’ll always remember and I’ll never forget all the great friends I’ve made. I feel that all twelve of us have become like a family. Gonna miss you Diggs and Amy, thanks for a great week on the almighty Pegasus.

Ben: It’s been a great experience me duck! An’ it were good. A week not to forget. I felt sick at times and now its time to go.

Ian: Amazing, I feel the twelve of us have become good friends.

Mr Wilson: A great laugh and I now know four knots! I felt apprehensive but now I’m tired and its been a different sort of educational experience in life, you can’t really explain it.

Sam Millward: It was hot, it was cold, it was wet, it was dry, it was relaxing and exhilarating at times. It was fun, overall a bloody great week, a bit of everything. I was buzzin’ with excitement before I came. At the end of the trip I can see from the smiling faces that everyone else has shared my excitement.
