Caving - Longchurn - Year 8 - Day 3 - 11th May

This group are fantastic!  We did the entire cave system and extras with time to spare!

Well done guys for working hard, looking after each other, pushing your selves, listening, overcoming fears and having a laugh without being silly!

Bring on Next week!

Waiting in anticipation to get going!

Climbing up Dr Bannisters

Well done to the guys who did Hell's Passage while the others were making there way to Dr Bannisters - you know now why it gets its name!

Ingleborough in all it's glory!

Caving - Longchurn - Year 7 - Day 3 - 10th May

Well done folks, a much better day today.  You all made much more of an effort to follow instructions and look after one another.

Looking at cave formations, Stalactites, Stalagmites and Columns - all formed by water dripping from the ceilings and depositing Calcite on its way.

Everyone was fantastic coming through the tight squeeze!  Well done

 Waiting to climb up Dr Bannisters after I'd done Hell's passage with Robert, Jessie and Reagan.

Next activity day is Thursday 12th

Ghyll Scrambling - Stickle Ghyll - Year 8 - Day 2 - 9th May

A Cracking day out with our current year 8 group in Stickle Ghyll!

We had some mixed weather with sunshine in the morning and an amazing storm with thunder, lightening and hail mid afternoon!

The group were up for all the challenges and everyone pushed themselves and looked after one another.

Just setting off.

Good skills climbing round the deep plunge pool!
