Year 6 Visit to Windermere

19th June 2015Mrs K Shutler

YCHSbN1wWwAA8L6dear 6 spent a fantastic week in the Lake District, staying at the YHA in Troutbeck.

Everyday we awoke to glorious weather and magnificent scenery.  As we ate our cooked breakfasts each day we wondered what we had done to be so lucky.

Over the week, we took part in kayaking, ghyll scrambling, searching through spooky tunnels, building rafts and seeing which of us had the makings of a new Bear Grylls!!  Turns out all of us did.

We had a fantastic week and would happily go back.
