Bronze D of E Round 1
Yesterday and today I was in the Mendip Hills and surrounding area assessing a couple of teams from Churchill Academy . 7 teams in total (although only 2 for me) all coping with some pretty wet weather at times. From North Wooton, through Wells, Wookey and Ebbor Gorge was wet but it finally dried out after that ending in a lovely evening for camping. Today was on and off showers and all the groups were in and finished by 4pm. Must be a popular weekend as there were hundreds of others out and about from various schools around the area.
Stay Low No Snow
With winds up high forecast to be 80 mph+ and the trees in our back garden swaying around, Olly and I decided to stay low today and explore some of the hills by Newtonmore. I spend a lot of time in Scotland but usually focused on winter and bigger mountains so always nice to go somewhere different. We saw a large herd of Red Deer and stayed out of the worst of the weather.
