Coven Day 4 morning

It looked as if we were going to have use waterproofs. The day began overcast and rain started to fall. However within half an hour, the cagoules came off as the sun came out.

The archers are briefed about safety rules

The waiting area

Learning the names of the parts of an arrow:
fletcher, shaft and tip

The target..

The centre is not called the “bulls eye” it’s called “the gold”: 10 points for gold; 8 for red; 6 for blue; 4 for black and 2 for white.

Getting  instructions. Elbow by the ear. And  release.

Practice round

Whoops missed!

Managed the red . . . eventually!

Maid Marion and Robin Hood!
The morning’s top scorers.

Meanwhile A, B and C were identifying
pond creatures caught earlier

Using a key

Work begins

Smells fishy!

Preparing to climb the tower

Safety instruction called out each climb

Harness up and the team ready to take the strain.

And the climb begins

Near the top

Abseiling down

I’m ready!

Miss Iannarilli gets to the top

Hannah finishes the morning climb.
