ARDECHE ADVENTURE - LAST DAY
We're enjoying our final afternoon with a spot
of abseiling and climbing. This morning was spent bodyboarding until a big sea
mist rolled in.
LONDON MULTI SPORTS - GO-KARTING
Our last day was spent go-karting at Surbiton raceway.
Here is one of the teams ready for the race.
The first lap!
Towards the end of the race with the teachers' kart in
first place....Mr Lewis gets hauled into the sin bin for a minor infraction by
the extremely biased referees. This wasn't enjoyed AT ALL by the other teams!
The deserved winners celebrate their victory!
TOUR DU MONT BLANC - FINAL STAGE
Woke up at 2,000 metres next to a glacier in
Italy, trekked through it and back to Chamonix in France.
THEATRELAND - FINAL DAY
Our final day devising collaborating and creating with
actors from the National Theatre...

LIVE BLOG DRAWS TO A CLOSE...
Welcome back to those who have already returned; we wish a safe journey to those in transit or returning at the weekend and are looking forward to hearing all about your experiences!
Trip leaders will ask pupils to text parents with any changes to travel plans or ETA.
That's all for now, folks! The blog may be updated after the weekend with more photos and posts.
SNOWDONIA - UPDATE
Fresh air, beautiful scenery, a lot of water - and being caught between a rock and a hard place!
PEAK DISTRICT EXPLORERS HEAD HOME
We are on the train home now. Have said fond farewells to our trusty guides who have been very patient with the southern softies with their blisters and terrible walking songs. Reached civilisation at Buxton after our last 8 mile trek across lovely rolling hills. Drizzle set in at last moments;
we have been so lucky with the weather!
On our last night we enjoyed a talent show and second
round of Mr Henwood's quiz. In fact it was pretty much a lack-of-talent show
although Remy Chopra's juggling was impressive. All tired now as we chug towards Stockport and the fast
train to London.
We are proud to have walked the Peaks and to have enjoyed
the beauty of these hills.
ISLE OF MAN - DAY 4
On day 4 of the Isle of Man, we have been gorge walking
and coasteering, had an archery and shooting competition and tackled an assault course!
... and then we celebrated Madeleine's birthday with the world's biggest cake!
CYCLING COAST TO COAST- THE END!
We dip our wheels in the north sea. The coast to coast
challenge completed by all!
DISCOVERING NORTHERN IRELAND - LAST DAY
Today we crossed the death-defying Carrick-a-Rede rope
bridge. All across (and back) in one piece. Now heading to airport. Hoping Aer
Lingus takes better care of our bags this time...
GASTRONOMIC LONDON - HOT OFF THE PRESS...
A delicious Lebanese breakfast before our Middle Eastern cookery day!
The competition begins...no mercy!
Girl power ...
Impressive industry
Time is ticking...tempers fraying...
Smells divine ...
