Staff sea kayak from Wembury
This evening a number of staff went for an evening paddle from Wembury, around the Mew Stone and back before it got dark. It seems that sometimes wetsuit boots are difficult to remove...!

Staff Mountain Biking in Plym Woods & Cann Woods
Yesterday evening had Plymouth College Staff out biking. We first did the new blue route in Plym Bridge Woods, before cycling up the hill and having an explore around some of the many trails in Cann woods. Safe to say that good fun was had by all!
Second day of Hills Skills for the BTEC Students
Totally different conditions for the Second day of Hill Skills, where ticks were more of an issue than the rain. Well one to all who completed.

Silver DofE paddle expedition
Well done to those who completed their practice expedition this weekend. Lots of miles were put in, some with the wind and some against it, and the portaging became quicker and slicker throughout.
