Kath Fry Challenge - 2025

Posted 13th January 2025

On the first night of the challenge, the first activity was night orienteering on the outdoor centre grounds. This was a great success, with the girls reaching 27 out of 30 checkpoints!

 

On day 2 of the Kath Fry challenge, the girls successfully reached the summit of Loughrigg Fell in the snow, demonstrating resilience, determination, and teamwork during the 5-hour hike. They also successfully completed the egg drop challenge, creating a contraption to safely drop an egg from a climbing tower, without the egg breaking, earning 100 points. 

On day three, despite being tired and battling the cold snow, the girls showed great determination and resilience as they tackled a series of demanding challenges. They climbed to the summit of Gummer's Howe, skillfully navigated a treacherous swamp, ascended a daunting climbing wall, and carefully worked their way through a tricky maze. Each task tested their endurance and teamwork, but their unwavering spirit carried them through the day.
