Transporting back to sunny days exploring the Fal River with … sun glistening on the water, seals basking in the sunshine, bonding with new friends. Feels like summer is just around the corner! 🌞 🛶 🦭

Off grid adventures with the year 5 children from St Breock! Wild food foraging with Matt , tackling the Ice Face on a climbing mission and learning the ancient skill of archery. A close encounter with a Barn Owl and Buzzard after dinner with Sharon the Falconer and a talent show followed by toasted marshmallows around the campfire. What a day!
