I've spent the last two days back in Open Canoes on Llyn Padarn near Llanberis. It was a bit too wild for photos yesterday, but today my students and I were in for a treat. The lagoons where we put on were mirror calm.
After a very brief introduction, we rafted the canoes together in pairs and set off across the lake on a mini-journey. We stopped for lunch on the far side by the old slate railway, which was an idyllic place for a picnic. We had planned other activities, but the students were far more interested in exploring the coastline, skimming stones and splashing about, so we let them enjoy some exploratory 'play' time.
Once they started getting too cold, we packed up the rafts and headed back across the lake with great views of the Pass of Llanberis and Snowdon. Before we left, I warmed up the pupil's toes, by pouring the warm water from the Kelly Kettle into their wellies!
