River Exe and Exeter canal in the sunshine

 
Because of the state of the tide we went out on the flow and came back up the canal, which was full of weeds in places. Students spend the day looking at solo paddling technique, trip and rescues.

Welcome to the new Lower 6th BTEC students!

 
 
Sunshine and calm waters greeted us today for our introductory session of coasteering and we all had a great time swimming  and jumping in the sea and scrambling over and ducking underneath rocks. Well done to everyone today, the start of a good year.
