Another fantastic set of students this week at Blue Peris.
The first day of the week is always a tough start, with the students having to get accustomed with the many nooks and crannys of the centre.
Mindful of their aims this week, the students proved their independence by getting their kit sorted swiftly. A little rain in the morning did not dampen their moods and the teams were quickly departing from the centre, en route to their first adventure.
Upon entrance to the mine. Leaving the light at the end of the tunnel
Mineful Monday was the talk of the town, with two of four teams heading to the Rhiwbach Mine for some un-paralled, underground exploration, whilst the other two teams headed for the Gerionydd gorge in search of waterfalls, slides and rockpools!
A rewarding slide found in the gorge
Both activities require a great deal of teamwork to navigate beyond the obstacles that are found and all of our teams displayed fantastic enthusiasm to every challenge
Navigating through the mines can be tricky!
Amongst the courageous displays of teamwork there were unusual skills to be harnessed whilst underground!
Paddling underground, through the deepest, darkest chambers
Excellent teamwork noticed. Negotiating tricky steps in the gorge.
Our teams in the gorge found their own tunnels and caves to explore!
Entering the 'washing machine'
Some absolutely gorge-ous weather!
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable day, with some fantastic weather to finish. Each team showing valient efforts and looking forward to continuing their learning as the week goes on.
