Day 4 - Climbing

Another great day today! We went to Betws Y Coed for some climbing, after a Via Ferrata up a fast flowing gorge in the morning, we stopped for a quick lunch before heading over to Llanberis for rock climbing and abseiling.

Day 3 - Coasteering

Day 3 was a busy day, we went to the Anglesea coast and spent the day climbing across the cliffs and jumping off! The sea was incredibly cold but our wetsuits kept us quite warm. It was a beautiful coastline and a great way to see it. The braver of the group took on a jump challenge getting up to 8 meters - which is about the same height as most abseil towers! 

Day 2 North Wales

After a great breakfast of cereal and bacon rolls we had a briefing and set to work packing for our big mountain day. This year we took on the might of Moel Siabod which stands at a mighty 872 metres.  After a long hard climb we got to a thrilling scramble which saw us pushing our limits of endurance, bravery, determination, and teamwork to reach the rocky summit. Along the way we learned about the history of the local area and the quarry works as well as considering the geographical features of the area.  It was an exhausting day but I'm so pleased I managed it. It was clear most of the way up giving us great views and at the summit, we tasted cloud!

Day 1 in North Wales

After a long drive up to Snowdonia, we arrived at our accommodation at the base of the fantastic Tryfan. We dropped our bags inside and explored the area. Shortly after we put on wetsuits and buoyancy aids and explored the onsite gorge.  After a short walk in we climbed over the edge and jumped in, with many overcoming fears and showing a real growth mindset before swimming up to the waterfall before floating back down river and playing a few games on the way down.
