- installed new plugs with integrated USB charging points
- created an additional campfire area
- bought a new fire tarp for firelighting and survival sessions
- repaired parts of the bike track
- added a new challenge on the sky ropes
- fibre optic broadband
- resurfaced the car park and put in a designated walk way, disabled parking spaces and marked parking bays (with more planned in the near future…)
- relocated our Yurt, improved the lighting inside, replaced the outer and re-treated the floor so it’s once again protected and waterproof!
- given the Farm House some more TLC by
– replacing the dining room tables and chairs
– continued the window improvements
