well, I am knackered, I’ve spent a great few days with three great Families this week, Climbing, Canyoning, Canoeing ( ha, don’t mention the canoeing ) , Gorge Scrambling and going underground.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself and marveled at the rate of overall improvement made by the younger kids on the activities, they overcame some big fears and managed their monsters well, even some of the adults!

Its Saturday, and a day off thank goodness.
The wheather is terrible, but all I have on is shopping!
Yesterday was another one of those great days spent with a group of great kids. I say kids but they were more like young adults. Very independant and having spent 3 days on expedition over the Welsh mountains, camping out and cooking for themselves, they came to me for climbing and underground. I hope a managed to influence one or two of them in some way or other with my wise words of experience. Ha ha, we all influence each other in the long run, its the good teacher that learns from his pupil, after all.
Thanks to all those that came on the adventure day. Photos and film of the event to follow..
