We left bright and early on Tuesday morning, piled into the minibuses, and headed out on Adventure Week. After a few hours, we crossed into Wales, which made me very excited. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous, with fields of heather and sheep everywhere. We went hiking in Snowdonia National Park. Our goal was to reach the top of Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales, but we could only go partway due to rain, wind, and fog.
We got used to Welsh weather this week. Every afternoon, without fail, it started to rain 15 minutes after we stepped outside. We went hiking, geocaching, played team-building games, and had quiet time, all in the rain. It rarely rains hard, just a slow, steady drizzle.
Despite the weather, it was a good week. We really grew together as a team and started learning to communicate across cultural differences. I learned a lot about leadership and myself.
