Year 10 pupils and staff from Friends' School
Lisburn during their recent visit to the South of France on a
watersports trip.
AT the end of last term 42 year 10 pupils
from Friends' School Lisburn and five staff took part in the
school's first Watersports adventure holiday.
This was a two centre holiday, with the group
spending the first three days camping at Segries in France,
their base for a three day descent of the spectacular Ardeche
Gorge.
During their time in France the group learnt
the basics of canoeing and also enjoyed some rock jumping and
'wobbling', shooting over a small rapid in the river wearing a
buoyancy aid.
The group then moved on to Mimosa, on the
beautiful French Mediterranean coastline, where they
participated in a range of sea activities, including learning
the basics of sailing, as well as trying wind surfing, kite
flying and snorkelling over a coral reef.
When the group arrived home on the Sunday evening, everyone
was exhausted but agreed they had some great memories and
stories to tell.
