Wild Wednesday

Day three of this weeks course continued to provide more excitement for the year 7&8's. Whilst group one ventured into the chilly waters of the Afon Ddu gorge, group two explored the Rhiwbach slate mine, and group three were intrigued by the vast Dinorwic slate quarry and continued to learn about it in the national slate museum.

This is the Caban where quarrymen would gather during breaks to sing songs and read poetry

Did you know that slate is still used in toothpaste and cosmetics?

Stunning views over the Dinorwic Slate quarry (the second biggest in the UK)

Everyone in the group was brave enough to take the plunge into the pool at the top of the gorge
