School Groups residentials in Pembrokeshire
It’s been the first busy week of school groups on residential adventure activity trips here in Pembrokeshire, where I’ve been working for TYF. With a few different schools in, and literally hundreds of students, we’ve had a pretty decent week! A local school and some from further afield, without exception all of them were lovely children!

I spent a few days with Prendergast primary, at a variety of different crags to suit the weather and swell conditions. First up was Pen y Cwfryrw, an adventurous scramble in for school groups and some big swell today! The next day we visited Porth Clais, it was high tide and there was a surreal eerie mist – but it was really warm… As well as loads of climbs we explored the smaller crags to get loads of bouldering, traversing and general fun in!

For our third day with Prendergast, we had great weather, low tide and minimal swell, meaning we could get to Low Tide Slabs, a lesser known part of Porth Clais. This venue is great for younger school groups, and didn’t disappoint today. Loads of climbing and abseiling done – top effort from all the students!

My final day with TYF was with a London based school. A long journey for them to Pembrokeshire but a great opportunity for the kids to experience the environment here, jump in the sea loads and explore the cliffs. Out to St Davids Head we went, to boulder, abseil and climb. The weather was incredible – too hot if anything! Not bad for May… here’s hoping for many more school groups like these lovely kids, and days like this – makes our jobs easy!

Views over Ramsay Sound – not a bad spot for taking school groups climbing in Pembrokeshire!
