Like ducks to Ullswater…S3 have a ball!

 
 
 

Thanks to the generosity of local charity, The Stevenson Trust, third year pupils from Langholm Academy were treated to several days of outward-bound adventure in the Lake District.

The activities on offer to the young people are many and varied and include canoeing, abseilling, hiking, cliff-jumping, para-sailing and many more.

After the trip, the E&L spoke to S3 pupils Ava Bell, Antonia Brockley and Abbie MacMillan about their experience in
Ullswater.
