Upper sixth sea kayak from Brixham

 

With no water in the rivers and string winds throughout the day we headed for Brixham and explored the harbour and surrounding coast line, and made friends with a seal for the day.

Lower 6th canoe on the lower Dart

 

 

Reduced numbers due to injury, but those that went had a great day out, if a little wet from above! All did very well, nailing eddies and picking good lines.

As part of their Outdoor Ed orientated PE lessons the Year 8's have finished their Orienteering sessions and moved on to Mountain Biking.

In among the rocks...

Almost went in

 

 

Go go go!

 

 

Last swim of the day -

Last Ten Tors training of 2014

Blessed with the weather again all four teams had a good walk. The 55 mile team had a long day today - we were in danger of reaching the mini bus at 13.30, so we added an extra long extension. Tired legs for all.

Silver DofE bike training

 

 

The Silver DofE group who opted for biking had their first ride out this afternoon. We got muddy, looked at navigation on bikes and basic riding skills. Getting home before it got dark!

Canoeing on the River Dart

Mixing it up a little from last week we tried the Dart in canoes. Big smiles all around :)
