Thirlmere Boulders

After a great week with Ambleside and Lindale Primary Schools the Real Adventure staff and I headed over to the Atlantis Boulders on the side of Thirlmere for a spot of relaxing before heading back to the stores to sort the weeks Kit.

The boulders are nearly all out of the water now with only one problem that is a shallow water solo!

Ambleside Whole School Adventure Week

This week we were working with Ambleside Primary School to deliver a program of adventures for everyone from Nursery and Reception through to Year 6.

All 152 young people did something with us during the week ranging from Mini to Big Ghyll Scrambling, Canoeing, Adventures into Lake District Mines, Tree Climbing, Rock Scrambling, Shelter Building and more.

It has been great to be able to offer a program that included the whole school and see such little people work together.

All other classes that week, wear possible, where held outside. Its a great step forward for the School to start using their area for Adventure Learning.

We will be running a residential’ for them and also single activity days to build on the week.

Video to come soon.
