Rhossili Outdoor Pursuits October 1979

Pupils spent a week at Rhossili completing a range of challenges each day.  On the riding day pupils were encouraged to ask for Morgan, the best horse in the Llangennith stables, only to find that Morgan was a large, over-friendly goat!  Staff included Mr B. Evans and Mr P. Myers, along with Lyndsay and Rosemary the regular outdoor education staff.  What memories do you have of your week at Rhossili?  Photos supplied by Mr Myers.
