| Thumbs up! |
This weeks group seem to have brought the weather with them all the way from Bedford as we were blessed with beautiful sunshine here today in north wales a place better known for it's liquid sunshine! To make the most of this our groups were straight out into the natural playgrounds today with a group in the gorge at Geirionydd and another two groups using venues closer to the centre for abseiling, rock climbing and even using our purpose built low ropes course!

The groups are using outdoors activities to meet a wide range of specific curriculum based aims this week and today the groups used various methods to find out the height of the cliff they were abseiling down (after they had already abseiled!) They also used the ropes courses to look at traversability and Euler pathways.

The final group headed into the gorge today for not only gorgeous views but also loads of action packed fun! Splashing around and whizzing down slides, exploring some mines and jumping in the lake were all just part of the fun. Rumour has it there was even a dance off!

By the end of the day the group had done so well they were leading each other through the rocky watercourse and listened to their peers for advice and support. After a quick litter pick en route they group were rewarded not only with a sense of achievement for completing the mighty Geirionydd gorge, but with a swim in the lake!

Back to the centre for a freshly home cooked meal and into a classroom session before bed, but what will tomorrow bring? Hopefully similar weather!
