Thurston – Day 4

10th March 2023S Office
On our final full day here in Thurston we finally had snowfall. Nevertheless, we made the most of every minute.
Langdale and Grizedale started the day by going to Cathedral Quarry – it was stunning. The children experienced caving and a walk too.
Langdale spent the afternoon climbing and orienteering.
Grizedale completed an obstacle course blindfolded – team building and finished the day on the climbing wall.
Yewdale went ghyll scrambling, then back at the Centre they climbed, completed the trim trail and did some orienteering too.
We are all in high spirits, some children even wish they could stay even longer!!
It’s been an amazing experience, but we are also looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. We should be home around 2:30-3pm. But further information will be given on our journey home.

Yewdale climbed to Bell, took in the amazing views, looked at the Pudding Stone, fed horses and finished off with some orienteering (see photos).
Last night, we all played Alien Invasion – it was so much fun. Time is flying by, but we are all looking forward to our next adventures today.

Day 2
Langdale enjoyed a mountain day climbing The Old Man of Coniston in glorious blue skies. The scenery was spectacular and the enthusiasm and speed of the group gave them the nickname of ‘The Sonics’.
Grizedale started their day by canoeing on Coniston Water followed by fire lighting and a hot chocolate around the fire. They then jetty jumped and finally finished with orienteering.
Yewdale trekked to Cathedral Quarry, team building trust in the darkness. They then went kayaking and jumped into the lake too!! Brave stuff.
The whole group are in really high spirits and their enthusiasm has been faultless.

Thurston – Day 1

10th March 2023S Office
Today we spent time getting our rooms and equipment organised. Doing our chores and spending some time in the barn playing games.
Langdale went down to the lake and jumped in off the jetty into the freezing water. Grizedale and Yewdsle had a woodland walked under a bridge.
After evening meal we enjoyed a moonlit trek into the woods and looked at the constellations. It was amazing.
