Explorers Club Coasteering

























After planning the programme last week, this week we got to go out and play. We had a great, if soggy, explore of the littoral zone (the tidal area of the coast) which included many backward belly flops, swims, scrambles and squeezes

Discoverers Club go canoeing and fall in lots









We did set out to go canoeing, and while there are no pictures of people actually in the water, rest assured ample time was spent falling in, tipping other people in, doing hand stands, swimming around and generally being soggy. I was fully engaged emptying canoes all evening
