Throughout February & half term

A group of young people and their leaders have arrived for a weeks residential at the centre to include work shops and adventurous activities.

After their journey down from sunny London they have arrived to beautiful Carmarthenshire and rain,rain and more rain!

This certainly hasn’t dampened any of their spirits and every now and then the sun peaks through to give some respite.

This afternoon the group are participating in Sea Activities at Pendine with hopefully plenty of surf for all participants !

After an afternoon of getting wet they will all certainly be looking forward to chilling out in the games room around the log burner and following this Di’s homemade curry night.

Yatton School pupils and accompanying staff arrived safely at Morfa Bay ready for a full weeks programme of adventurous activities.

Activities started as soon as the children were all accommodated and had finished their lunch of traditional homemade soup and fresh filled rolls from the local bakery.

Activities enjoyed  Zip wire,Muddy Assault Course, Caving ,Mountain Bikes and Climbing.

The evening finished with a hike to Pendine Beach followed by hot chocolate and bed.

Morfa Bay Adventure were delighted to welcome John Thompson and Simon Day to the centre on Sunday to film a taster session of the exhilarating activity Land Yachting on Pendine Sands as part of a new history channel programme  ‘Britain Through Counties’  featuring Carmarthenshire.

The 3 schools have all arrived safely to Morfa Bay and following lunch and settling in to their accommodation are ready for a full fun packed week of adventurous activities.

Already the lads from the 3 schools have made themselves at home, within half an hour of arriving the future Beckhams are expending their energy playing football up on the field.

Who knows ? Perhaps we are watching a future England player!

Following activities this evening all groups are off on the coastal path hike to Morfa Bychan and Pendine and back to the centre for hot chocolate and bed.
