I attended a 7 day Outward Bounds course in May of 1988 along with some of my classmates from our school (Chipping Sodbury School). We had a great time there learning first aid, rock climbing and abseiling, camping under the stars in tents and bivouac. Leading up to main expedition at the end of the week which was to climb to the top of Scafell Pike over two days, and on the way back we went back to the centre on the Lil Ratty (Ravenglass and Eskdale) steam railway and walk up from Irton road station back to the centre.
