The Great Cloud Walker challenge, the title for this year Challenge Weekend, is set to get underway next week! Saturday the 28th June this year's 36 challengers will be heading to North Yorkshire to settle in for the afternoon/evening with the others taking part. The Saturday will allow the team to bond and get to know each other. We'll be having a lovely curry or lasagne (or similar) and turning in for the night! 

‍

‍

On Saturday morning, we'll be getting up not too long after the sun, having breakfast and preparing our equipment. We'll be getting to Eavestone Lake for an 8am start, where the adventure experts will take over and we'll collectively set out on part one of our hike of around 5km. Once we reach our literal cliff edge, we'll stop, settle in, and then pay a lot of attention to what the experts tell us! Once we've absorbed all we can,we'll then complete the abseil part of the challenge. Jumping off from 75 feet, and then slowly coming to a stop when we feel the floor - hopefully! We'll then turn around and head back towards Eavestone Lake - taking a different route, of course!

‍

‍

When we get back to the lake, we'll then be presented with all of our equipment that will allow us to build our rafts in our smaller teams! Many knotts, attempts and remakes at raft designs later, the teams will then paddle off across the lake. First one there and back, wins!
