The Blorenge

 We went to the Blorenge, a hill overlooking Abergavenny. On the opposite side of the valley is Sugar Loaf which i have also climbed. 

During the walk we found lots of fungi including the meadow waxcap and blue edged pink gill. We also  found lots of other fungi however we did not identify them.

Just before we reached the summit of the hill we passed a group of wild horses.

This is a picture of them.

I went APE!!!!!!


Posted by Picasa
On my birthday I went to a place called Go Ape, in the Forest of Dean.
Its lots of platforms ropes zip wires and swings high up in the trees.
This is a picture of me on the Tarzan swing. You had to jump off a high platform and swing across into the cargo net. It made my stomach feel funny as you dropped.

The rules of Go Ape are simple.
1. Longy (Longy is the long rope you have attached to yourself) loves the tree.
2. Always attach your clips the opposite way.
3. Enjoy yourselves.
