The big slide in Church beck
Such a fun afternoon enjoying the clear mountain waters of Church Beck with Brian and his friends from London town.
We split the session into 2 sections, starting with an ascent from mid-way up as far as the big chockstone slide. This got everyone into the groove before heading into the upper canyon for the big jumps!
A few jitters as the first big jump was tackled, but such an amazing effort from all. We finished with the big slide, speeding into the deep pool below and a cool swim out.
Despite other teams being in the gorge, we had a clear run at everything and most of the time we were the only people in there, good timing.
My bag is already packed in readiness for a day on Helvellyn tomorrow, see you all again then.
