A long way from home

This weeks group has undertaken an epic journey to be here, but we hope we make it worth their while ! Its down to us to show them the delights of N Wales and move them along in both their educational and personal development.

An early morning start, saw the group having a hearty breakfast at the centre before departing for the Afon Ddu Gorge.

Despite the colder weather coming in, the group managed to stay warm in the gorge despite near constant immersion in the beautiful, crystal clear water of North Wales.

Teamwork and a good sense of humour are essential and both groups were certainly buzzing on the way back to the centre.

The first day was a great success with all aims ticked and smiles on everyones faces.

Making their way up the infamous "Elephant Bottom"

It's pretty hard to stay dry in Afon Ddu Gorge

Natural water slides in North Wales gorges are such good fun

Crossing takes skill, good balance and a careful eye on the ground
