A quick blast around Dartmoor this afternoon with the Gold D of E students. Nowhere near as nice as last week and even a few minutes of heavy drizzle to keep us moving.

Upper Sixth leading Tamar Touring trip





Due to the current lack of water in the rivers, today the Second year BTEC students ran a day touring on the Tamar for the First year students.  Launching at Cotehele Quay we paddled up river past Morwelham Quay, not quite making it to Gunnislake, we enjoyed lunch afloat before turning and riding the change of flow back to Cotehele.
