Sponsored Walk

A small group of hardy walkers braved the cool, windy weather at Langsett Reservoir yesterday for the FBCS Sponsored Walk. Five miles and almost two hours of walking, conversation, exploring and fun. Later, we assembled for a picnic.










And here we are at the end, triumphant at finishing!

Mr & Mrs Hitchen arrived too late to walk with us most of the time, so they did their own walk and joined us at the end:

Why do we organise such events? Obviously there is the fund-raising aspect, but walks like this don't really tend to raise massive amounts of money. Perhaps more important is the opportunity to spend time with people from school, getting to know them, learning more about each other, cementing the family atmosphere of the school. There is also the chance to get out and about (good exercise, good scenery). All of these things are great and those who went on the walk, despite the less than June-like weather, really enjoyed the afternoon.
