Topping Totnes Time










Brilliant evening yesterday on the Dart at Totnes with the Discoverers Club. We did take canoes, but some students spent more time swimming than in the boats!

Great levels on Wednesday on the Dart














OK, so we are a couple of days late, but that is only because we have been super busy... The rain came through earlier than we expected on Wednesday, giving us great levels on the Lower Dart for our canoe trip.

Setting off

A superb performance in far from ideal conditions sees Miss Lindsey achieve her UKCC Level 2.

Second years on the Dart


Still verdant green, the trees along the river were greener than the ones along the roads.





We found and rescued a hornet












How's it going?






Water levels were a little lower than anticipated...
