Rock scrambling on Raven crag
This week we've been joined by teams from Windermere based Alertacall, for their staff days out / team building activities.
These have proved to be a lot of fun, and this week was more of it. Rock Scrambling being the chosen activity, this was new for most of the team. The easily accessible Raven crag, Yewdale our venue, this allows for a high quality scramble to be enjoyed in a short space of time, so idea for our afternoon session.
For much of the route there is no need for rope, but a couple of sections are tricky enough to slow things down and get roped up, these are the best bits.
Everyone did really well, working as a team and helping each other out, always great to see. During Tuesdays ascent we had a few heavy rain showers, but with the hot weather it was hardly worth the bother of a jacket. And todays ascent was wall to wall sunshine and extremely hot.
Both days gave us excellent views and for some a new perspective on the Lakes and what is possible. Well done everyone.

Thanks to Stephanie for organising this and to Paddy for all your help on the days.
