Bendrigg Trust
Hi, Last weekend I went to Bendrigg Trust in the Lake Distrikt. It is a charity run bisnis for disabulld pepel and children to do activites like caving, rok climing, archery, zip wier, cnowing, cicling, going in a tepe and much more.
I went on Friday and wen I got ther we met up with our frends then went to our room to setel in. The room was relly good it had a track hoist, electric beds and a shower trolley bed that folds out from the wall.
After we had seteld in our room, we went to the meeting room wher a ladey told us abawt the activites we cud do that nigt. I chosed to do caving it was good. We went to the sports hall and I had to put a helmet on. Daddy and me went into the cave it was dork but I had a ligt on my helmet to see. Ther was drips of reel woter cuming from the cave turets. After we went back up to the hall and I played ping pong with Daddy and a ladey it was reley fun but it was trikey.
We all went to the kidey canteen for dinner. It was good becus you have to help yourself. After diner I was reley tired so we went to our room to bed.
On Saturday we went for brekfast then to archery. Then I did zip wier, they liftd me up in the hoist to get me redey and pushd me up to the platform to clip me onto the zip wier. The zip wier went relley fast and I lovd it.
We went back to the sports hall to go on the big swing. It was relley fast and fun and cool I cud see every one down below. We had lunch all tegether befor doing rok climing.
Ther was a speshul wall for weelcheirs to clim up and they hav got speshul straps to put to the weelcheirs to clim up the wall. Ed helpd me to get redey and make shur it was safe. He gav me a rope to pull and I had to shout pull when I wantd to get up the wall. Daddy climd up the wall next to me. When we got to the top they unclipd me and I went down a lift to get down.
At nigt I went to the sensery room for a chil out disco with my frends.
Sunday we went cnowing we had to go on a bus to the lake. They got a speshul hoist to lift me onto the bot and I had to wer a lif jaket. It was good we had hot choclet and a biskit on the bot. When we got back to the room we had to go to the meting room. A ladey gav us stificet and a medel. She shak my hand and sed thank you.
