Day 3 in the Big Dales Dorm....

After breakfast, we packed our lunch in our bags and set off on our woodland trek. There were no minibuses for us today....just good old fashioned walking. 

We set off from the East Barnby site and headed through the village before going deep in to Mulgrave Estate. There was plenty to explore along the way and we even popped into Madonna's Lodge!!! 

Unexpectedly, we discovered a mysterious castle built in 1214. Looking at the ruins we were able to identify the different parts of the castle and take in the stunning views.

After lunch, we headed further into the forest where we listened to echos in the tunnel and created some wonderful woodland art before heading to Sands End for marshmallows and hot chocolate.

Matilda -  ' I'm never walking up another hill..ever!'
