SWINGING through the trees was just one of the thrills on offer at Malvern Hills Outdoor Education Centre during its programme of summer activities for children.

The activity sessions included archery, rock-climbing, abseiling and bushcraft with excursions to Upton Warren, near Droitwich, for canoeing, kayaking and raft-building.

Dave Squire, of the outdoor education centre, said: “The sessions always prove popular. “Kids go on the first sessions, tell their friends and it fills up that way.”
