Vi havde en langsom start på dagen og den var godt op ad formiddagen før vi kørte på tur. Målet var et sted hvor man kunne lære lidt om at skyde med bue og pil og herefter kunne gå på jagt i skoven. Her var der opstillet 20 forskellige dyr med passende afstand på en rute på lidt mere end en kilometer, og så kunne man få point alt efter om man ramte, ramte plet eller skød ved siden af.
På vej derop startede vi med at køre det helt forkerte sted hen! Men det var lukket og vi fandt ud af fejlen, så vi måtte vende rundt. Dog fik lige syn for sagen om mængden af vand der også for nyligt har været i det her område, for man kunne se at store dele af vejen havde været skyllet væk, der havde være mindre jordskred hvor store træet var væltet ned i floden og det havde ødelagt 5 mindre broer på den rute vi kørte. Det må have været voldsomt!
Det lykkedes os til sidst at komme frem til det rigtige sted og fik tid med det samme, med lidt undervisning eller i hvert fald beskrivelser af ricisi! Og afsted med os ud i skoven. Det var udfordrende at ramme dyrerne og selvom vi gerne ville være 4 gange Robin Hood kræver det nok en smule ekstra træning! Dog ramte vi alle sammen ind i mellem og det vakte stor begejstring (ellers var det lige til den svære side). Fedt koncept og sjovt at prøve noget helt andet.
Oven på udfordringen fik vi en is i solen og kørte derefter retur, men det meste af dagen var gået, så hjemme igen stod den på madlavning og leg.
We had a bit of a slow start to the day, and it was well into the late morning before we set out on an adventure. Our destination? A place where we could learn the fine art of archery and then put our newfound skills to the test in the forest. There, we found a trail with 20 different animal targets set up at various distances, spanning a little over a kilometer. Our goal? To score points based on whether we hit the target, hit the bullseye, or missed entirely.
But the adventure didn't start smoothly. On our way there, we managed to take a wrong turn and ended up in the completely wrong place and we had to backtrack. Along the way, we couldn't help but notice the signs of recent heavy rains in the area. Large sections of the road had been washed away, there were even some small landslides where big trees had tumbled into the river, and we counted five small bridges that had been completely destroyed along the route we were driving. It must have been quite a dramatic scene!
Eventually, we did find our way to the right place and were quickly given a crash course (pun intended) in archery or, at the very least, an explanation of the risks involved. And off we went into the woods! Hitting those animal targets turned out to be quite the challenge. While we all secretly hoped to be the next Robin Hood, it seems that hitting the bullseye requires a bit more practice. Nevertheless, we managed to hit the mark now and then, and that brought us plenty of excitement, even if it leaned a bit towards the tricky side. What a cool concept, and it was definitely a blast trying something entirely different.
After our archery adventure, we rewarded ourselves with some ice cream in the sun. Then, we made our way back home. By the time we got back, most of the day had passed, so we spent the rest of it cooking and playing.
