Today I was at Bridgwater YMCA working on behalf of Wet and High Adventures Ltd delivering a British Canoeing Foundation Safety and Rescue Trainin g course for some of their staff. It was so hot and the water was so warm today that I didn't even bother with a wetsuit which made a nice change.

Running another British Canoeing  Foundation and Rescue Training course for  Bridgwater and Taunton College  L3 Outdoor Education students on the Bridgwater Canal. 6 students have now completed this award and are looking forward to using it as a progression to becoming a coach in the future. Thanks again to Robin for helping out

After spending the weekend at the AMI CPD event in The Peak Distrciut, I was back in Bridgwater today running a FSRT course for Bridgwater and Taunton College L3 Outdoor Education students. A nice sunny day to be on (in) the canal and lots of skills looked at. Thanks to Robin who came to help out as he works toward becoming a provider himself.

Today I was working close to home on Bridgwater Canal running a British Canoeing Foundation Safety and Rescue Training (being signed off by Gary). 4 candidates, a mix of boats, some sunny weather and warm water made it all very pleasant and easy to manage.

Today I was down in Brixham assisting with a Foundation Safety and Rescue course with Baz Coaching as part of my consolidation period before starting to run them myself. It was good to work with someone new and steal his ideas for future stuff. 6 candidates and lots of different boats gave us plenty of ides to try out.

As part of my ongoing professional development today I was observing a British Canoeing Foundation Safety and Rescue Course run by Luke Moore

Today I was down at Haven Banks in Exeter attending a FSRT (Foundation Safety and Rescue) Provider course so I can run these courses in the future. Open Canoes, White Water Kayaks, SUPS, Sea Kayaks and some old school General Purpose boats all came out to play The course was run by Lee Pooley and contained some very good ideas and it was refreshing to see a course run in a very practical and well though out way way but still covering the syllabus required.
