Gregynog!

Just got back from an awesome two days at Gregynog. Bit of a really sore throat but other than that was good laugh. While there we were put into teams and we had a load of tasks to do for points. We learnt different ways of starting fires :), treasure hunts, dragons den and a load of random games. Few of the random games focused on things like team work and communication, one seemed focused on getting people wet :P. There is still half of Comp Sci still there so we won't find out who the winner is for a bit. Few of the fun games were Sheep and Shepard, carrot launch and giant Jenga (even though it was in the pub and worth no pints). Sheep and Shepard was fun, all but one team member were blindfolded, there were 8 in our team. We had 15 minutes preparation time and the Shepard had to guide the Sheep into the pen with out speaking works. We used car noises for forward and stop and moo and baaaa for right and left, it did get us laughing a bit. Carrot launch was one of our first tasks on the first day there. The aim was using a cannon, just pvc tubing and a Hoover to create a vacuum, launch a shaped carrot as far as possible. The Jenga in the bar was a right laugh as some of the people playing were making it harder for the next person. There may have been a little bit of cheating going on :P. Over all it was a damn good two days and would happily do it again, right laugh and met some really nice people.
