The Cycle Team getting ready

A very safe and friendly Adder

Nick on Dunkery Beacon

Some steep and rough terrain

Yesterday whilst the groups were out on their expedition, Nick and I headed off on our bikes to meet up with them but also to have a good ride ourselves. 15 minutes into the day we spotted an Adder so decided to get some photos. Unlike last time however it was dead so somewhat safer. We did about 25km cycling during the with a mixture of on and off road. The award for most crashes goes to Nick for 3 times over the handlebars whereas I only manged it a measly once.
Both groups I was looking after were in on time (even early at times) and showed real skill in navigation and camp craft.

Today's boating session was delayed by a few hours until the temperature rose above zero then it was a case of powering through the now thin layer of ice to have a trip down the canal. The swans had managed to keep a 3m area of canal open by swimming about all night but seem very happy that we open up a lot more of the canal for them. A mix of Tandem and Solo skills demonstrated today from the Outdoor Students.
