Year 7 - Day 3 - Canoe Rafting on Lake Windermere.

A lovely day on Lake Windermere with our present year 7 group. Intending to sail oppies but the wind just did not fill in so we decided to do some canoe rafting and had a lovely paddle down the lake to a little island for lunch.

The A-Team....paddled fantastic all day.
The B-team who toward the end of the day found their rhythm and pushed the A-Team all the way back in a race to the beach to a final draw.

Cheers all around from the A-team.
Lunch time on the island.
Some well earned food before some games of camouflage...and some excellent hiding places...
An the final reward of a nice dip in the lovely cold lake...
Excellent jump Charlottie :o)



SPLASH.....who is that under there then!!!
