At nine o-clock we left school for Haldon hill, near Exeter, where we spent the day Mountain biking. First we started on the blue challenge trail, a long but relatively easy ride, before having a snack and going to the skills area. There we practiced jumping and "pushing" our bikes up and down short 1 metre hills. Then we went onto the red trail which is shorter but more difficult to ride on. In the skills area, Harry Baker fell off while trying to jump over a log, and Freddie Eyston slipped off a wooden plank. While on the red trail, I fell off a corner and landed in some fortunately soft mud. Every one enjoyed themselves all day.
