BTEC on exped!

Its been a while since our last post, but we have been up to lots. Here is the last couple of days out and about on an expedition with the BTEC students.

We had a good time biking yesterday, managing to clock all of the trails at Tamar Trails, there were some surprisingly steep up hills!

River trip!

A brilliant, if low, trip down the river today. Well done to our rock hugging students!

The wind seemed to b coming down the Yealm and down from Bridgend but we managed to get a good paddle in looking at moving the craft forwards, backward, sideways and around in circles. Some people also managed to get their nose on the front of their kayak...
