What a fantastic day for us to be out kayaking in the Lake District with a keen group of year 8's.
Original plan was to do some extra caving but when the rare beautiful weather arrived we decided against spending the sunny day underground and opted for some watery fun on coniston Water.
Strating with a paddle down the lake and some fun games on the way.
What amazing scenery we had to look at, we are so lucky to live so close to this wonderful place.
Ahh our 1st game casualty....a capsize....excellent...was this Paul's doing by any chance....
After some more hard paddling and some relaxing in the sun we played some more silly games.
Well done lads for firstly getting set up like this but mainly for not falling in.
The Gang...............
We then paddled over to the busy Peel Island, famous for it's other name: Wild Cat Island from the famous novel 'Swallows and Amazons'.....
So we had some fun jumping off the different levels of rocks into the deep pools.
Time to fly......
Some excellent big jumps from you guys....and some grand poses!!!
Looks like your about to do some strange dive....great...!!!
We were even lucky enough to see a rare wild Osprey circling above looking for its dinner.....
As the day drew to a close, before we got off the water we played one more "wet" game.
Great day guys....next time we will get underground and get some good caving done...!!!!
