Sunny day out on the sea cliffs

Well today was certainly a turn for the better with some 'scorchio' for long last!  Jana, Carter and Maddie were joined by visiting friends; Dennis, Toy, Ranee and Dyson for a sunny session on the sea cliffs.  We were climbing at Miekle Partans today for a change of scenery and climbing.

Everyone did very well with their climbing (especially in the heat) and made the most of both the easy and hard routes set in front of them.  After plenty of climbing we had an abseil to round off the session.

Lauren was out with me today to have some exposure to the outdoor instructing world as she is looking to go down that path at some point.  Put to work; Lauren was helping tie in, belay and teach the kids some different knots.  She even overcame a past bad experience of abseiling when she was younger.
