Polar Explorers Talk

Today we were visited by three pupils of Stranraer Academy who came to tell us about their recent expedition to Greenland.  Innes, our former pupil, and his friends told us all about their adventures.  20 young people undertook demanding physical training in preparation for their trip. Whilst there, they camped out in tents in temperatures as low as -20 Degrees.

They only had one outfit of clothes for the whole time, which they say got a bit wiffy after a while.  That trial was worth it as they experienced skiing, huskey sledging and even a helicopter ride.

They encourage other children to think of applying for this opportunity when the time comes when our boys and girls are aged 14+.
