The camp camera follows Y6 to Kinver Edge
Yesterday evening there was slight change of duty staff with Mrs Flynn arriving to spend Tuesday night and Wednesday at camp and Mrs White returning to school for the rest of the week.
Mrs Flynn will be replaced at the end of Wednesday. Mrs Williams will take over from her on Wednesday evening.
The walk was from Enville to Kinver along the Edge. One group started in Enville with the other starting at Kinver. Both groups met at the half way point of Holy Austin Rock at about the half way point.
The steep ascent onto the ridge from the Kinver end.
Half the group are standing in Staffordshire, the other half in Worcestershire!

A world war two observation post or pill box used to alert the nearest airports of secret German bombing raids trying to avoid detection by flying over Wales and Kinver edge. The Midlands manufactured a lot of munitions and an obvious German target. Coventry suffered very badly.
