Docked and departed Dover

We have safely crossed the channel and are on our way to Cheltenham for our first drop off.

The staff will start making calls to confirm pickup times when we are an hour from Leicestershire.   Estimate 3 hours to Cheltenham then approx 2 hours to Leicester with a stop in between so I anticipate our arriveal at approx 1700-1730 but will keep you posted on our progress

Heading home

We have just departed the hotel and are heading down the mountain.. Bang on time 1515h.  We have to drop our ski kit en route then off to pick up the other school up for the long journey across Europe.  I will keep you updated with our progress throughout the next 24 hours.  We are due to depart Calais at 1230pm tomorrow so fingers crossed we should be back at barrow late afternoon/early evening.

Mr Cross

Final day

Fantastic clear blue skis, zero wind and perfectly combed pistes... We couldn't ask for more for our final half day of skiing.  I will update with more details and photos during the journey back

Day 5.. Great day

Great start to the day.. A bit of snow and clear conditions to start with and the kids were all over the mountain... So much so that me and miss ball couldn't find them!! We all met up at lunch and the weather turned again and the afternoon skiing was very windy and challenging... Miss Ball and I count ourselves as an experienced skiers and we found it tough but there is always solace in the smiles and spirit of youth.. The pupils lapped it up and skied safely and maturely.. This week has brought all conditions.. Sun, heat, rain, snow and wind... Every condition that you can encounter as a skier snd our group has battled and beaten it all... A wonderful group of young people who I would gladly take away again.

Sorry no extra ski pics today as captured them all this morning.  This evening we had our ski instructors come across to present medals and certificates to all pupils and the kids also made a little presentation to Piu and Toyna and also to Omar our ski rep

Big day tomorrow, a lot to do aside from skiing.. All being well we should be away and on the road by 1500 (local time) and I will keep you updated with our progress across Europe 

.... Oh, I nearly forgot the twonk!!! Today unamously presented to Amiee for a ski on chair lift malfunction to much amusement of pupils and public alike :-)

Presention and twonk pics to follow as well as pupil blogs.
