Sayers Croft Holiday
Hounslow PHAB club holiday was
taken at the end of August at an Outdoor Activity Centre called
Sayers Croft. This is an old evacuee station from the last war,
owned by Westminster council (and inner London area), but is
situated near Guilford in Surrey, about 25 miles from London.
Just over twenty of us went, and spent Monday to Friday on a
variety of activities ranging from horse riding to boating,
shelter building to aerial rope courses. Most of the pictures
need no caption, except to say that many of the young people with
us have some form of disability, though this is not always
apparent in the photos. This may be because many people assume
that someone climbing an artificial rock wall, or standing up to
their chest in muddy water building a bridge is able bodied. This
is the great strength of our group; we all take part regardless
of ability, some simply need more support than others
.
Piracy on the high seas!
Keeping a low centre of gravity really
helps on this set.
The landing party successfully back on dry
land after all crossing the bridge. No-one gets home dry in this
sort of event - even if they have to be thrown in.
Surprisingly few got wet on the lake,
though those that did got very wet indeed
