Swallows and amazons and hill walking

Yesterday the girls travelled nine miles
And 700 feet up in the lake district. They all completed
The walk and felt really proud of themselves
They spent the evening enjoying traditional roast dinner
And the trimmings and toasting marshmallows on the fire.

Today they are canoing around three islands inland ulswater
Where they will have lunch and play swallows and amazons

Looking further ahead they are having a dragon boat competition
Tomorrow and going out for a final meal.

The canoe and walking trip

The girls have so far paddled ten miles on lake ulswater, then took part in a cooking
Competition. Today they are at the Beatrix potter museum
And later they are taking part in a canoe regatta.
This evening they are at a local private hall where they are having a talent competition!
The girls are busy and enjoying themselves. So far they have had curry, spagetti bolognaise and chicken for dinners and are all in good spirits.

Cycling in Sedgefield

The Sedgefield cycle group, went on a ride yesterday around Sedgefield and it's surrounding areas. The ride went really well and although a large chunk of the group were away on a large Nhs ride a significant number still attended. This really shows the strength of the group. With the container and bikes in place at Hardwick park the group will go from strength to strength.

Check out this clever little girls take on Thrills and Skills for Life's Bushcraft courses.

Finally, Sedgefield Cycle Group get their container!

Thrills and Skills for Life have managed to finally get the container into Hardwick Park, on behalf of the National Health Service, Get Active Scheme.

Durham County Council, Hardwick Park staff, especially Sara were instrumental in helping achieve the aim.

The bikes will be placed in the container on Thursday and then the group will have its bikes and club in full swing!
