Marvelous Monday!

Well the weather has held off in Wales for at least one more day so the groups were out the centre at the crack of dawn in order to get the most out of the day. Two groups headed to a very scenic Cwm Idwal whilst another two stayed closer to the centre. One went canoeing on Llyn Padarn whilst the others headed for the dizzying heights of Lion Rock.


No lions spotted today - PHEW!
 Our group this week are here to become more independent and this is not only achieved by participating in activities to boost their self confidence, but pushing the young people to be an active part in the 'behind the scenes part of the week. The young people are making their own lunches, washing the dishes, serving meals and making their own beds. This allows the students to have brilliant experiences during their activities and skills they can even use in their own home!




 (*note: This is no guarantee and Blue Pris takes no responsibility for any unmade beds or dirty dishes as a direct or indirect result of a visit to Blue Peris mountain centre. All rights reserces T&C's apply.)
Timing canoe strokes requires immense teamwork.
 Two groups combined after their walk to Cwm Idwal nature reserve this morning for a spot of raft building. This helped students towards another one of their aims of talking to new people as it was a tight squeeze on the raft and with a race on the cards there was a lot at stake!

Next stop - Ireland?
All of the groups did a brilliant job of adjusting to centre life and this even were out again on the centres purpose built low ropes course, night line and problem solving equipment, what better way to round of a day in the great outdoors?
