Whernside Walk

Elliot and dad went to the dales (Ribblehead) with some of dad’s work friends first thing this morning and set out on a walk up (and down) the Whernside mountain (one of the Yorkshire. 3 peaks).

It was 8 miles of pretty tough terrain in the cold and wet (misty rather than full on raining).

We completed it in just under 3.5 hours and then enjoyed 3 hours in the pub for a terrific pub lunch and a few cheeky beers.

Don’t think Elliot will join us for more of them and certainly not for the full 3 peaks but we are both delighted to have accomplished this one for now 🙂

Mock GCSE time….

Today is the first day of 9 days of Mock examination for Elliot. He has done his prep and we hope is as ready as he can be .

Good luck Elliot – relax, read each question over and over until you feel you have a good understanding before thinking about how to approach it.

You have got this !

School ski trip

Last night we dropped the boys off for their first ski trip. They are going to Santa Caterina in Italy with school for 6 days.

The coaches left at 1am and their flights are around 8am from Stansted to Milan.

Loads of excitement from all in the school hall and likely lite sleep until next Thursday 🙂 Have a great time boys 🎿⛷️🚠
