Today 10R had their first visit to Lever Park at Rivington! We left just before lunch to arrive there for just after 12 o'clock and we enjoyed our lunch outside before we started our walk.

We took it easy today, sticking to the flat terrain alongside the reservoir and we made our way up to Liverpool Castle. On the way we kept our eye out for orienteering markers and used our maps to check where they were and to see if we were going the right way. We also had compasses so we could practice our navigational skills that we have been learning in class, finding out which way north is, and figuring out which direction to walk in.

When we got to Liverpool Castle we had a little explore around and we talked about how a man called Lord Leverhulme had the castle built to look like ruins, which we all said was a very weird idea. After a look around and a little break, we headed back to the main carpark, ready to return back to school in time for buses. Everyone said they had a lot of fun, but they're really tired, so early bedtimes all round tonight!
