The <strong>Stopfordian</strong> 2010–2011<br />

SNOWDONIA<br />

In the evenings we had talks from Jim Langley from the<br />

Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team. He also helped us to<br />

tackle the Tryfan scramble. Paul Bayley from Cheshire Air<br />

Support Unit talked to us about helicopter rescue in the<br />

mountain environment.<br />

The pupils were excellent young mountaineers<br />

enthusiastic and almost too fit at times!<br />

– always<br />

Staff; Mrs Muscutt, Mr Cheslett, Mr N Young, Mr Killey, Mrs<br />

Lammas, Mr Morgan, Mr Bayley<br />

This year we had exceptionally good weather for the Third<br />

Year Snowdonia trip – 4 days of sunshine and great walking,<br />

scrambling and climbing.<br />

Moel Siabod, Tryfan, Snowdon – our usual favourites.<br />

This year we moved from the Ogwen to Llanberis Youth<br />

Hostel and for the first time the staff did not have to walk,<br />

climb and then chop, peel, prep and cook for the group.<br />
