We have just heard that the coach hopes to arrive back at school at 5 pm

They have just left the hostel and will be making a first stop at St Thomas' Primary School in Kendal

A beautiful day, no wind and bright sunshine. Eastgate's got talent was brilliant and the children had great fun. Mr Howard made them all laugh with his story telling: he made Daniel and Mr Pemberton act it out. They are off to the Ravenglass/Eskdale railway for a ride on the steam train and a walk to see a waterfall.

They should arrive back at school around 6 pm on Friday as the journey took longer than we thought on the way up.

The group have had a lovely day at the Rum Story and having a tour around the Harbour. They had lunch with fruit punch in the cavern at the Rum Story. They are now in a play park and the sun is still shining. Tonight it will be Eastgate's Got Talent for entertainment!

All fine and had a good night's sleep. Off to Whitehaven Rum Story today. Had rain until 9 am but now dry. Had a fun quiz last night and Fiona's team lost - don't know which team won though!

Mrs Hothersall has just rung and relayed that the children have just conquered Dent Fell, almost made it to the top and managed to climb to over 1150 feet. Quite an achievement for them all. They are now on there way down and are then heading to St Bees for icecreams. The weather there is fine, dry and sunny.

All the children are up and have enjoyed a full english breakfast. The wind has thankfully died down and the sun is out. We shall be leaving the hostel shortly to climb Dent Fell. Nobody was homesick and all had a good night's sleep.

They have arrived safely at the Youth Hostel in Buttermere and are all settled into dormitories and about to have dinner. The children are very excited about the scenery, especially the waterfalls - there is a waterfall just near the Hostel. We will update again tomorrow

The coach is almost at Kendal so they are in the Lakes - all going well and on time.

Just letting you all know we have heard that the journey is going well. They have just stopped at Ferrybridge for lunch and everyone is fine. They hope to arrive at 4:00pm, but obviously this is traffic dependent.

The coach left on time this morning full of very excited children and staff. We will keep you updated via the website of any news we hear from them during this week.
