Today the climbing club visited the Marjons climbing wall.  Even though only three students came along they had a great time putting the skills they have learnt at school into practice.

White Water Paddling - River Walkham

Today the Adventure Bac students completed their third white water kayaking trip, the route took them down the Rivers Walkham and Tavy, both grade 2/3 rivers. All of the students managed to develop their paddling skills in an environment that was challenging and sometimes uncomfortable. With a number of rapids to run, flat sections to paddle and various obstacles to get around the team had an experience to remember.
