An amazingly sunny day at Grinton today. We set off early for a challenging walk and scramble up Fremington Edge where we were rewarded with a beautiful view of Swaledale. We are so incredibly proud of the whole group today. It was warm, very, VERY steep and our third hike of the week but every single one of the children were determined and so cheerful as they trudged, scrambled and slipped their way up and down.
After lunch at the hostel, we headed down to Cogden Beck to find out how clean the water was by finding animals so we could calculate the Biotic Index. It didn’t take long for our feet to cool off and we rounded off the afternoon with a bit of dam building and some very soggy wellies!
In case we have any worried grown ups… they’re all eating well and especially enjoying the breakfasts and sleeping is not a problem after 17 miles in 3 days! Smiles and positivity all round from this amazing bunch!
We have lots more pictures to come but will send families a link to access them all on Friday when we return.
