Week 7 - Getting wetter in the pool The group are settling into a routine back at Moorland Hall - if the sun shines they're out climbing getting a few more lead climbs under their belts and if it’s wet they are working towards the BCU 2 star award canoeing/kayaking or they could be walking and navigating! The swimming pool was used this week for some kayaking skills - so much easier in the warm to practice capsize and rescues, support strokes and of course Eskimo rolling.

Aaron working hard on the low brace.	Alex practising his edging skills.

Sam and Chris work as a pair, Sam practising his support strokes whislt Chris is there to recover Sam if he capzises.		Students were set out in pairs with the task of navigating alone back to Moorland Hall, this is a couple of pairs making the check point at the same time.
