Past Events!

Have a look at some photos and write-ups from past events, we have had!

Christmas to Easter 2005:

A visit to Manchester Velodrome - Feb. Half Term

Ben B, Ben O, Phil, Josh & Keith visited the Velodrome for a taster session. Whilst there we met the Olympic Gold Champion Chris who was starting his training session straight after our taster.

The lap record for a rolling start is 12.5 seconds.
Here are our times:

Ben Bowen 23.9
Ben Oakley 24.2

Snowdonia 25 - 27 Feb 2005

Enlarge We stayed at the Pen-y-pass YHA again as last year. There was snow again which was a bonus. Six Explorers attended along with Rhys, Keith and Phil. We concentrated on map reading skills but needed our ice axe skills around Devils kitchen. Saturday we climbed Y Garn and Sunday did navigation to the east of Nantgwynant.
