“Gasps of excitement could be heard the second Adrian entered the classroom on skis wrapped head to toe in a snowsuit. He took them on their own orienteering adventure led as Captain Scott. The expedition was accomplished when the explorers reached their tents where biscuit treats were delightfully received as a reward. Without a doubt we will be booking Adrian again in the near future.”
