Unfortunately I was unable to make it out to Austria with the boys; however I had the pleasure of working with the Hope family from Morpeth.

Our plan was to head to Blackmoss Pot in the Langstrath Valley, Borrowdale. On arrival it was clear there had been a lot more rain than predicted, the river was far too high.

Plan B – Hodge Close Quarry, a spectacular quarry in the heart of the Lake District.

Jak 13, the youngest member of the family could not wait. Within seconds of arrival his wetsuit was on and he was raring to go.

We played a variety of water games, crawled through tunnels and jumped off cliffs. The whole family got involved and thoroughly enjoy their day.

There are some great photos in our photo gallery from this excellent day.
