The big hike....

Yesterday was a beautiful day weatherwise and the sun was shining with blue skies as we started our hike up the mountain of Couto... Dosed with sunscreen, we had a later start than planned due to traffic jams (unbelievably we have them here in the mountains too!!!) but made it to the summit at 12.30. Half the group were able to do the abseiling but for some there was no time... Do not worry though - they will be doing the abseiling (rapel) today near the river.
Finally, and feeling very proud of our achievements, we made it back in time for dinner, showers and a much appreciated bed!!

Today the students will be mapping a river and some dry land. Once again we are blessed with lovely sunshine (so sunscreen will be out in full force) and this evening we will be having movie and games night.

More updates to come....
