The Last Three Days: Surprises, Running, World Records, Talking, Carroty Wood and then some Part One

19:43-Monday 27th June 2016

Hey guys,
Now, when I last posted I thought I would DEFINITELY by posting the next day. However, the plan changed when I got home on Friday...

Day One-Friday

So, I walk in the front door after school. I put down my bags and go upstairs to say hello to mum. But when I get upstairs before I say anything, she says to me 
"Daniel, there's a free spot to go to Carroty Wood with your church group, do you want to go?".
My first impression is COMPLETELY SHOCKED. I mean, I didn't even know my church group was going to Carroty Wood. My first response was to say
"I can't, I've got a lot of work to do".
I thought that was the end to it, but no it wasn't. Mum asked my two more times, both times was met with the same response from earlier. However, 5 mins later, I am watching The Musketeers when mum shouts down the stairs
"Ollie ********* is going. Jane said she would take you and she hasn't left yet. Are you SURE you don't want to go?".
"MUM!"
But then my mind started to get curious, so I go upstairs and ask mum
" When would I get back because I am doing a talk on Sunday at Y"
"You'll be back before then"
So I said I would go, and I got packing. I packed everything in a green camping bag and 30 minute later, Jane turns up, I put my bags in her car, say goodbye to mum, jump in the car and off we go.

So to get to Tonbridge (That is where Carroty Wood is) me and Ollie were human sat nav's since Jane's was broken. After about 45 mins we arrive at Carroty Wood, however, we don't know which lodge we are staying in. So me and Ollie get out to do some investigating after the first lodge we found wasn't the one we wanted, we started to walk back to the car. But as we got close Jane started to DRIVE AWAY, of course it was a joke, but me and Ollie stayed outside the car while we looked for the lodge.

So when we finally found it, we dropped off our bags and then we had a kick around with the other guys there. We had dinner and then we attempted at some world records: How many Smarties can you eat in 3 minutes WITH CHOPSTICKS and The biggest tower made from matchsticks in 2 minutes. After that It was bed.

Ok Tomorrow I will post about what happened on Saturday

That's all for now
Thanks For Reading
