A wet afternoon in the Plym

We avoided the rain for the start, but managed to get wet in the river anyway with some students even trying a head stand at the end

Stunning afternoon for mountain biking

Summer made a comeback for this afternoon and very welcome it was too, great conditions for mountain biking. 

A misty sea kayak trip

We had a delayed start this morning as we waited for students to show up. Two out of the five made it in, some citing reasonable excuses while others were a no show. The select few headed out to Mount Batten and launched at Batten Bay. We headed out to the break water and once we stuck our heads around the corner we were exposed and the full weather hit us. We were unimpressed with this and so turned and headed for a hidden beach for lunch before deciding that discretion was the better part of valour and we headed home. Great day out rock hopping and being on the sea, not much of a view tho!

A bit choppy out on the sea today

The rain had passed but the wind persisted. The Upper Sixth BTEC students headed to Newton Ferrers and enjoyed the shelter of the harbour before heading out to the mouth of the Erme for a spot of surfing. After poking our noses out on to the sea we turned and headed back to a beach to look at contact tows and a to get to grips with edging. Great day.

Somewhat soggy slabs

We all went climbing at the Dewerstone this afternoon. Determined to get out on the rock and not hide indoors we braved the weather and got to grips with soggy holds and slippery surfaces.
