Our 13s and 14s pupils (Years 9 and 10) and our Lower Sixth students attended a training weekend in some of the coldest conditions ever recorded in Harrodian history! For many of our Silver and Gold participants, this involved a morning session reviewing key topics such as first aid and expedition planning/preparation. For the rest, it was a full day of training on Saturday and a long hike on Sunday. In addition to this, seven of our Silver participants also completed canoeing training in Teddington. All of them deserve a great deal of praise for their positive attitude when faced with such terrible weather!
Overnight expeditions begin in May, when hopefully the weather will be warmer. Please find the following useful weblinks for reminders of key dates and other information:
