Gwilym's Adventure Blog

This week has been a blast from the past for me. I am temporary, part time, acting Head of Outdoor Education at Plymouth College for two weeks paternity cover. A couple for indoor climbing sessions including coaching lead climbing, a few classroom lessons and a day at Haldon Hill on mountain bikes interspersed with some paperwork and other essential admin to keep the department running until everyone comes back to work. Today was so wet on the bikes, big effort from the students as we rode through deluge after deluge with mud and water flying everywhere.

Last day of the Bridgwater and Taunton College L3 Outdoor Education residential so we visited Haldon Forest Park on the way home. After a skills check on the skills course and a group ride around the light blue trail, we split with me taking half the students around the Red Trail whilst Tyne guided the dark blue with the remainder. Only a couple of accidental offs during the morning before heading back to college to pack up and get home for some well deserved sleep. I am on the road at 5am tomorrow morning heading up to The Peak District
