All change as the BTEC students swap from paddling to Navigation

Today the Lower and Upper Sixth Form students had their first day of navigation on Dartmoor, on and around the Down Tor area.  Significant improvements were made thoughout the day, finding smaller and smaller features.

Last White Water Kayak



Today was the last White Water Kayak trip of the season for the U6 Adventure Bac students. Running from Buckfastleigh to Staverton, Ana and Alex had some high water levels to contend with but put in a good performance. Well done to Alex who has passed his 3 Star White Water Kayak.

River Dart Kayaking



Today we were out on The Dart in good water levels with the Lower and Upper 6th Adventure students. As there was a fair old flow today, we did have a higher than average number of swims (4 students managed 11 swims between them) but it was a successful trip and the water was warmer than expected

2 Star Paddling





Today all the Adventure Students were out at Alder Lake revisiting 2 Star skills in multiple craft including capsizing and rescue skills. Well done to the those that passed and the others will pass shortly.

Year 8 go Biking

Today the Year 8 Boys had a second session mountain biking.  We rode out to Central Park, putting the skills learnt in last weeks session into practice on the muddy, slippy slopes. 

Silver DofE Canoe Training

Stunning sky and happy paddlers were the order of the day as Year 11 completed their third canoe session, getting off the water just as the sun was setting.

A windy day on Exeter Canal

Due to a number of injuries and the strong winds blowing around, we went to Exeter Canal.  Paddling Sea kayaks we looked at paddle selection and how this influences paddling.  We also palyed a few games of Canoe Polo, with only one swimmer.
