How to capture in words the spirit of achievement that 6i (and some 6ii) experienced at Bowles?

Imagine climbing up and standing on a wobbly pole 15 metres above the ground, ready to leap across a void towards …. Imagine feeling nothing below you but a safety harness…Imagine clutching your neighbours to stop shaking to prevent yourself falling into water….

Such physical and mental challenges, combined in many activities and initiatives, pushed students far beyond their comfort zone and made the seemingly impossible suddenly attainable. The teamwork, trust, tears and laughter over 48 hours united the group. The silence shared before leaving cemented a truly memorable weekend.
