Well the great weather has stuck around for another day here at Blue Peris. Although that didn't matter too much for our groups heading underground today it was most certainly appreciated by those who were sampling a few of the many stunning climbing venues north wales has to offer!

| Big Smiles on the waterfall climb. |
Two groups headed to Rhiwbach mine whilst the other group went to lion rock for some early morning sun. The groups underground not only pushed them selves by having lunch in the dark but had a smashing time climbing a waterfall and having a boat ride!

| One for the welly catalogue perhaps? |

| Forging friendships at Blue Peris |
The group were listening well and having worked on their objective they were rewarded with more climbing in the time they had before heading to the atmospheric blast shelter quarry for an abseil.
 |
| Brilliant balance! |
But its not just about awesome activities and amazing weather, oh no! There was a more curriculum based focus to some aspects of the day and the group used trigonometry to work out the height of the abseil cliff. On the final activity before dinner, (the low ropes course) the group were set a series of challenges and had to apply their evening session last night on Euler pathways to complete them.

Here's hoping the weather sticks around for the rest of the week, these young people are working so hard they definitely deserve some sunshine!
