What a fantastic 3 days working for a Year 5 residential for Teesoutdoors
Fire lighting, rock climbing, axe throwing, archery, country walk, canoeing (not me this time) shelter building, building your own low ropes course and loads of team games.
They’ve fit a lot of activities in 3 days. It’s been a manic whirlwind of a residential.

Sometimes the weather doesn’t play ball 🌨️
What should have been a group day at Scugdale, on a gloriously sunny crag, turned into a day at ROF 59 Climbing Centre.
It’s fantastic to have venues like this to use on rainy days.
If climbing is something you’re interested in trying, get in touch and see when we can get you out 🧗

What an amazing day at Twistleton Scar in the Yorkshire Dales National Park
The weather started out damp, but the sun soon came out and the climbing was excellent 🧗
If you have been interested in trying rock climbing, get in touch.
It’s a fantastic activity for team building for youth groups and sports teams 😃

Another trip to the beautiful northumberlandcoastnt assessing 6 teams completing their bronze from dameallans school.
All teams performed excellently, with good nav, camp craft skills and ability to motivate each other to succeed.
Well done everyone 😃

What a fantastic week working for Sam Sykes Expeditions, working on a gold practice.
5 days, 1 canoeing day, 4 mountain days, 2 wild camps.
Safe to say the groups all handled to tough weather conditions in their stride and I’m sure that when it comes to their assessment, they’ll smash it.

Day 2 and 3 walking in the Lake District, with a wild camp, working for Sam Sykes Expeditions.
The students took 40 mile an hour winds and driving rain for most of the day and night in their stride, carrying everything they need for the 2 days out.
A fantastic performance all round.

Skill progression and rescue skills today, then paddling with full expedition kit to be self sufficient for the next 2 days.

The plan today was to go and climb at Almscliff Crag. But the weather decided that was a silly idea 😂
So we took a slightly further journey and went to the Big Depot Leeds 🧗
What a fantastic venue, packed full of auto belays, top ropes and lead climbs, as well as a bouldering wall.
Really worth a trip down if you haven’t already.
I’d learning the skills to rock climb safely has a been an interest, please get in touch.
