Before departing, we were a bit apprehensive about the trip because we didn't know what to expect or how effective a week of revision would be when surrounded by our friends. However, when we arrived and started working everyone was completely focused and intent on making the most of our time in the Lake District. Even though we spent 9 hours each day revising, we still managed to have a really enjoyable week; we had the opportunity to partake in activities and spend time relaxing in our lodges. We managed to find a balance between working hard and having fun, which made the task of revision less strenuous and hopefully will allow us to make our work at home more beneficial.
