Ghyll Scrambling - Stickle Ghyll - Year 7 - Day 1 - 10th Jan 2012

First day of activity for our new year seven group, so we headed for Stickle Ghyll.  Water levels were perfect and despite being mid Jan it was very mild.

Not quite mild enough for swimming though!  Try telling that to 13 super keen students!

Well done guys - see you on Thursday for Sailing or Kayaking!
