Students Enjoy Activity Days in Keswick

On the 7th and 8th of September, Rainford College and Cowley Language College Yr 12 students participated in a joint Activity Day in Keswick. The activities included canoeing, rock climbing, rafting, rambling, mountain biking, abseiling and ghyll scrambling.

All students participated in these challenging activities, creating piles of wet clothes very bruised body parts encorporated into the joyfull events! The favourite activity of the days was definately ghyll scrambling, which was enjoyed by everyone.

Every student who took part had a fabulous time, particularly Matthew, Alex and Robert, who managed to fall out of a canoe a record SIX times.

A great time was had by all in attendance!
