Mountain Biking - Grizedale Forest - Year 10 - 4th March

An excellent days Mountain Biking on the North Face trail with a keen group of year 10 lads. 

Well done guys, some really good riding on technical trails!

I'll be in touch after Easter about arranging another days riding on the Altura trail at Whinlatter Forest (which you have well and truly earned today).

Kayaking - River Lune - Year 7 - Day 2 - 3rd Mar

Another excellent day with our current group of super keen year sevens.  We headed to Halton by the old railway station finished off the briefing kitted up and launched below the bridge in super quick time.

We worked on skills, forwards and backwards paddling and turning and played a load of games!

The whole group did really well. Even though the sun was lovely and warm the water is still very cold and everyone got freezing hands, despite this everyone stayed keen!
