Morning Athlon

Everyone slept well last night after the long walk yesterday and was overjoyed to be woken by the sound of Robby the Rooster (as recorded by good self) who woke us so well when we were under canvas.
Before a hearty breakfast of sausages and scrambled eggs, the reds and blues took part in the Athlon race: a locally famous team race comprising four stages... The run (won by reds); the watercarryinginatubeythingwithholesin event (blues won after a stewards enquiry); the blindfolded kayaking (reds) and the swim (reds again).
Now after breakfast we are splitting into two groups: one will scale the local crags and the others are going to see what we have caught in out lobster pots and meet John Ridgeway, who started the centre after rowing across the Atlantic ....
