Her favourite exercise was the snow hole building and she said it was very cosy in her snow hole with Rocco. There wasn't room for Chelmer when he enquired, but that was a strategic move on Rosa's part, to force him to make his own, and so reinforce the skills he learnt last year - after all practice makes perfect.
A new challenge for this year was absailing down a waterfall - and it was no ordinary waterfall, it was Catrigg Force, swollen by a lot of winter rain.
What an exhilarating descent that was. Fortunately we'd all spent a lot of time watching one of our heroes, Bear Grylls, doing similar on television, so we knew exactly how to do it safely. Sorry you can't see action bears in the picture, but when each of us took our turn to spectate, we had to keep well back for health and safety reasons.
It was a very wet day when we did the waterfall challenge, but at least being wet to start, we didn't worry about getting wet from the spray.
Lots of love, the B.U. instructors & trainees xxx
