Story
Day 1
Luckie Strike
Medium Water, fine
5 hours
We attempted to let them self lead, but they spread out too much and it was all a bit hap-hazard down the stream way. We then had to work hard to facili-manipulate the trip to keep it safe and let them lead what they could.
Day 2
Burr
7 hours
Fine
We were a bit concerned about what the cave would be like as the ground was completely sodden every where. Fortunately we went for the bold option and committed, to then find that it was in primo conditions. Rigged a tyrolean on the first waterfall to keep the students dry, would have been better to rig one for the 2nd water fall too, as the pull them out of the water method stuffed a rope.
