Gwilym's Adventure Blog

For the next month I will be working for Camps International in Borneo and at 08:00 this morning I boarded a plane with 57 Students, 6 Staff and 2 other leaders to spend a month living in and around the jungle taking on both physical and community projects. There will be a full blog report on my return but if I get access to the internet I will post something mid way through the trip.

For the last few days I have been riding round Black Mountain and Brecon Beacons on my motorcycle whilst assessing two Gold D of E Groups from Plymouth College. I saw the groups once or twice a day and spent the rest of the time exploring the local roads. The weather has been great for us and the teams should enjoy there remaining days. I am now packing for my trip to Borneo as I am leaving this weekend

Since Sunday I have been down at Foxlease in Lyndhurst in The New Forest with Haygrove School for their year 7 camp. Over the week I took them Kayaking, Tree Climbing, Walking, Mountain Biking, Swimming, Crate Challenge and to The New Forest Wildlife Park . The weather was changeable with some very heavy showers at times but both students and staff had a great time.

This week I have been down in Devon working for Plymouth College who I will be doing a lot more work for from September. During the week I have had a number of meetings but got out to observe some climbing and watersports tuition as well as take part in a Coasteering Session
