Cyclo cross

Thoughts on today's cyclo-cross from the Year 5/6s 

 The  juniors went  outside and did a course on the field. It was fun because we had a races.

 We had a thrilling morning with tight bends and accelerating speed. The races were the fun bit! The coaches were amazing and helped us massively.

When we were on the course the people there were really nice to us. They  helped us to get the right sized bike. On the course, I enjoyed the corners where you would go up and round the bank. The juniors enjoyed the races - well I know I did. Before I started the race I was confident that I was going to win the girls award and I did. I was so happy. I had so much fun and I think everyone else who does it will enjoy it too.


There were lots of sharp turns which were quite hard to navigate.


It was fun because we got to ride a bike at school, which is something you don't normally do.

 After arriving at the centre, we dropped off the bags and the bus drove us down to the reservoir. Using our map reading skills we had a lovely walk back to Whitehall. Enjoying a welcome snack break, we listened and watched out for curlews, skylarks, blackbirds, buzzards and crickets.  We spotted many wild flowers too.

Adventurous activity 1: Let's try abseiling

Image
For our first activity, we headed back towards Taddington and the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale - familiar territory for us. We exchanged tales of walking, cycling and pony rides down the trail.  None of us have abseiled before, so we're not quite sure what to expect. We listened carefully before getting our harnesses on.  The instructor checked we were all safely buckled up and ready to go. Hmm...some slightly worried looks.  Here we go. Who's brave enough to go first? The bridge over the River Wye is 80 feet high and the first challenge is to climb over the railings.  We did it!  Now we can relax.
