Today Mr Starks, Mr Jackson and Miss Gee led 7 students on the first coasteering session of this year to Anstey's Cove near Torquay. Leaving right from the beginning of lunch in the department's shiny and newly acquired Land Rover we were soon running down to the bay to get started. Coasteering involves climbing and swimming to make your way along rocks and cliff faces in the sea. The group enjoyed working together so as to work its way along the headland, clambering over boulders, across the bottom of the cliffs and in to coastal caves. Despite the bite in the mid October autumnal air, the water wasn't too bad after a short swim and we all loved the opportunity to get off the school site and to have a go trying something different. After nearly two hours of adventure, a run back to the bus and a quick change we all headed back - cold, a little tired but grinning. A fantastic way to spend a games afternoon!
