Gwilym's Adventure Blog

With the current Coronavirus situation limiting movements and social interactions, there will be nothing to report for a while. As such, the blog is on hold until normality returns.

Excellent couple of days on Dartmoor (Dewerstone and Leigh Tor) running a Rock Skills Learn to Lead Trad course for Hannah and Marcus We got away with only a little drizzle and mainly nice weather. Loads of skills covered over the 2 days and we even managed to multipitch a 15m Mod at Leigh Tor. Both managed to lead a couple of climbs each on day 2. These course are excellent for turning indoor climbers into outdoor climbers and I am keen to run a few more once the summer kicks in properly. Working for Wet and High Training which is part of Wet and High Adventures Ltd.

3 new Beach Lifeguard Trainer Assessors were produced this weekend at Brean Sands. It was a little chilly in the sea but all 3 did well and are looking forward to running their own courses in the near future. I have two of these courses on the go at the moment with the second one due next weekend.

Back in El Chorro to meet up with Jay and Anna for another week in the sun. A couple of multipitch routes (5 and 6 pitches) plus 12 single pitch routes ranging from 4c to 6b followed by a nice grade 3 Via Ferrata to finish. A couple of windy days that were best spent down low plus being bitten/stung by an unknown assailant give me a very swollen itchy ankle just added to the fun. I am now at Malaga airport waiting for a flight back to the UK
