LUNCH BREAK

 
 Day 4

 On Tuesday we went rock climbing for the day.  Rather than climb in the high Alps we head north to a lower and warmer altitude and climb in a quarry.

 The quarry has lots of relatively easy climbs very close together so it is easier for the leaders to manage several routes.  The more routes we have closer together the more goes the Scouts, Explorers and Networkers can have at Climbing.

BEING LOWERED

CAN'T HANDLE THE HEAT

 

 The problem was the heat.  Being at a lower altitude it was hotter.  And the quarry is semi circular so no wind gets in, the rock is light and reflects the suns heat.  Some people spent a lot of time resting in the shade.

   

THE GIRLS SHOW US HOW IT IS DONE

NEARLY THERE

In the morning we were climbing up and lowering down. Abseiling was saved for the afternoon.
