Adventure Notes

Cairngorms

Friday 11th February. We had to pack all our clothes and equipment in to big bags. We also had to get some food ready. Emily and Ferdinand made flapjacks and sausage rolls. Sean made lots of sandwiches. At 9:30 at night we went to collect Nigel, Tony, Spanna, George and Buster – and lots of …

Cadair Idris

A group from Craggers went to Cadair Idris for some hillwalking in the wintery weather in the week just before Christmas 2004. Andrew, Diego and Spanna went up together and were joined later on by Mon and Nigel and Marco. We stayed in the Coventry Mountaineering Club’s hut in the village of Corris, which turned …

Snowdonia

In April 2004 Tony, Spanna, Sean and Cassie went to North Wales for training. Tony and Spanna went ahead and spent a few days before Sean and I arrived on Tuesday 13th. The next day we talked about Navigation Techniques before setting off. Spanna, Sean and I played a game where one person chooses a …

Adventure Camp

This was my first time going as a volunteer instructor.  We had 45 people attend in all which was a good sized group with lots of children.  I arrived after everyone else so I missed the setting up of camp.  When I did arrive everything had been set up well and the group seemed settled. …

Clecy

Unusually for me, I took a pessimist’s approach to our week camping trip in France – expect rain and you won’t be disappointed. Luckily I was wrong and after the 9 of us had done the ferry crossing and the few hours’ drive to get to Clecy, Normandy, we enjoyed several days of beautiful sunshine. …

Harrison’s Rocks

As there was no Adventure Camp at Blackland Farm this summer we decided to organise an Adventure Day instead. So, we each packed plenty of picnic food and a group of 24 (10 adults and 14 children) set off to Harrisons Rocks for a warm, sunny day in the woods. It was extremely encouraging to …

Snowdonia

Our Wales trip was to be an intensive training opportunity for any Craggers members interested. Four of us went over 10 days (half of us staying for three days at a time). For most of us it was a training opportunity in how to lead climb. We camped at a lovely camp site at the …

The Outdoor Show NEC

This year, Craggers received two complimentary one-day tickets for the ‘bigger and better’ Outdoors Show at the Birmingham NEC. Sean and Cassie decided that it would be a good idea to take Phin and Griffin to see what it was all about. We managed to get hold of another couple of half price, one-day children’s …

Dartmoor

Easter can often be changeable and this year was no exception. We were glad that we had booked into a bunkhouse with a nice warm stove. The eleven of us had the whole bunkhouse to ourselves and got on really well with the farmer who owned it. He took the kids on rides on his …

North Wales

In the February half term eleven Craggers set off in a hired minibus for North Wales. We were staying in a bunkhouse (no chance of the tent blowing away in the middle of the night) near Plas-y-Brenin called Gwern Gof Uchaf. And we were most relieved to arrive there about seven hours later via several …
