A bit of climbing at the Life Centre








We had a good turn out and while some students went caving, we headed to the Life Centre for some climbing. It was the first time for some people, but those that had been before soon showed the others the ropes and we managed a good number of routes before heading to the bouldering wall

Whittling away the time







A good, safe performance from everyone yesterday evening. We split in to two groups, half climbing and half developing their carving skills, before swapping over after a quick snack. Everyone is coming along well and developing good technique.

A spot of climbing







Well done to the climbers today, a great effort and developing many skills.

Some of the students didn't have their forms, so we challenged them to many and varied challenges. Some others did remember theirs and so went biking :)

Crate fun!


Bright and breeze, but the tower only got blown over a few time. We even managed to get one person stood on top of all of the crates








Biking was wet and chilly


Wet and chilly was the order of the day, we didn't actually see any snow, but did find some ponies in the woods hiding from the worst of the weather.
