Tuesday afternoon Canoe Polo sessions are in full swing and progress is being made preparing the team for our next tournament. This years' team is starting to look very strong now.

Moody skies atop Bredon Hill this Saturday. A fantastic, scenic cross-country route with technical climbs and exciting descents. We were even blessed with a patch of sun on Elephant Rock. It's safe to say we'll be back here again soon.

The second day of our mountain biking trip over Leave Out involved a day of downhill (and a fair amount of climbing) at One Planet Adventure in the Llandegla Forest. An extremely scenic ride with spectacular views of the Eryri National Park (Snowdonia).

After a late-night ride at Coed-y-Brenin the night before, we took our Leave Out bikers on an epic ride of the Gwydir Mawr trail in North Wales. 25km and 750m of descent made for some excellent downhill riding on some Welsh classics.

For our weekly OP club Sunday trip we ventured over to Green Spider Climbing in Hereford. After a good warm up on the extensive bouldering wall, the pupils practiced some bottom rope climbing and belaying. A great day and a fantastic location.

A cold and foggy morning at the Forest of
Dean; gloves and warm layers were required but the
fast downhills and hot chocolates certainly made up forit.

We kickstarted the New Year with an exciting trip to @cardiffintww. With a couple of new faces, the team are keen to get themselves on some bigger whitewater this year!

Hunted 2022 is just around the corner and we're all very excited!

Two pupils from each house will be released into the Malvern Hills with the task of evading the staff hunters, sniffer dogs and overwatch helicopter.

Meet this years pupils and staff hunter team!

Over the recent half term we took our climbers to North Wales for some climbing, camping and pizza by the fire.

Thanks to Limitless Experiences for showing us all the best locations and for a great introduction to outdoor climbing!

Trails, tents and muddy tires on our Leave Out trip to North Wales and the Lake District!

The pupils took on Whinlatter Forest Park and Llandegla Forest for some top UK mountain biking!

They also enjoyed Fish and Chips overlooking Derwentwater and sunny evenings camping.

Presenting some of the contenders of Lost 2022!

Good luck to all houses!

Making the difficult decision whether to stop and admire the impending rainstorm or get to shelter as soon as possible!

Always stay for the view.
