The children went to sleep really well on Tuesday night and slept through much better into the morning. Our last morning was a high wire and zip line challenge for just about everybody! There was, unavoidably, quite a lot of waiting around but it was a great experience once it was their turn. Some children […]

The girls seemed to sleep well. The boys, however, were a little bit later getting to sleep and then were awake by 6am. They will regret that later and, hopefully, learn. We have had a really good day. It is a bit wet and ‘midgey’ now, but we slipped in an evening walk to get […]

We have had a super first day! We had a good journey up by train, changing at Leeds, and arrived right on time: a big thank you to Northern Rail for free tickets and train safety resources. It is a great service. After settling in to Gearstones Lodge, we had an afternoon on the Ingleton […]

Caving We woke up this morning to torrential rain and hail, which was not a great omen for our caving plan. Too much rain means that the cave at Selside becomes flooded and is too dangerous to enter. However, the area has plenty of other options and so our instructor moved us to another cave […]
