Upper 6th Gorge Walk in the Plym at the Dewerstone

Depleted numbers today but those that attended had brilliant, if chilly, time; lurching from eddy to eddy and rock to rock. We had the occasional swim from some members, and more continuous swims from others, but found plenty of jets to slide down and finished with a waterfall we could get behind.

Gold DofE assessment, North Wales

 

 

This week six students ventured to the Rhinogs in North Wales to undertake their assessed expedition for their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.  All students performed exceptionally well taking the wind, rain, early starts and dark evenings in their stride successfully completing their expedition.  Well done and congratulations to all students involved.  

Gold DofE Practice, Dartmoor

 

People weren't over optimistic when we left the bus...

 

But then the weather started to break...

 

 

And we had a superb evening on Friday night wild camping on Dartmoor, we had clear sky's overnight so it was crisp but with fantastic vies of the stars

Climbing club visit Dart Rock

For the half termly trip out the climbing club visited Dart Rock for the evening.  We had reduced numbers for this trip but those that went had had a great time climbing and in the caving system.

Practising games at Alder Lake

Ahead of the students leading a group of younger students after half term we went to Alder Lake to practice some of the games they will be leading.  We also had a recap of some of the skills learnt in the FSRT course last week.

Another Silver DofE training!

After a truly wet and windy night where the campsite flooded and we had to move tents when all reasonable people are in bed, Sunday proved to be a cracking day.  A big well done to all those who went out this weekend, keeping cheerful throughout. 

Lower 6th Sea Kayak from Newton Ferrers

We had a couple of students drop out today due to injuries but the rest of us had a great time on the sea. We headed to the mouth of the Yealm and challenged ourselves to go out in to the bigger waves and swell, then after lunch went rock hopping in the swell before trying out the tow lines and heading back.
