P7 Carlingwark Adventure

Our P7s have just returned from a residential trip to The Carlingwark Centre in Castle Douglas were they did some Hillwalking up Screel (on a very windy day!),  also Orienteering and Mountain biking in Dalbeattie Forest.  The staff at Carlingwark were very impressed with our P7s in all the activities they tackled and I was very proud of the determination, resilience and teamwork that they developed. Everyone learned some new skills and knowledge which hopefully they can build on in the future. Well done P7s!!  Enjoy some photos of our trip.

  1. They all managed to survive. One person even tried to splash the HT with mud using the spray from their mountain bike’s back wheel- I wonder who????
