Arthog Day 2 Part 3 – Even Wetter!

This afternoon, Miss Merrick’s group braved the slippery boulders and icy waters of Arthog’s fun-filled gorge walk.  The children pushed themselves up through tumbling torrents to reach their final destination – the questionable warmth and shelter of a fragrant minibus.  Despite the cold, there were huge smiles on every face.

First Day at Arthog – Everyone Having Fun!

Despite one camera failure, we were able to capture some lovely photos of the Year 6 children enjoying their first day at Arthog 2026.  Everyone had a great first day, ate well, and went to bed early in incredibly tidy dorms (one of those is a teeny weeny fib).
