Year 8 enjoyed a sunny last residential in North Yorkshire, beginning their adventures at Ampleforth College where they took part in CCF activities such as rifle shooting and team-building exercises before settling into their home for the week, Queen Ethelburga's College.

Everyone enjoyed the adrenaline rush of the zip line at the North Yorkshire Water Park and the chance to try paddle-boarding. There was more water-based fun as they hit the beach in Scarborough for a day's surfing.  On their penultimate day, the group visited the historic centre of York to walk the city walls and visit the famous Shambles shopping street.
