 What a wet two days! This weekend I have been directing a Lowland Leader Training course on The Quantock Hills (yesterday) and Steart Marshes (today). With Storm Alex passing through, staying dry was not an option so staying warm was the order of the day. We looked at all things navigation, some leadership and lots of environmental chat. It has been a very busy week of back to back Mountain Training courses.

On the second day of the Lowland Leader Training I am directing for Wet and High Adventures we headed to Steart Marshes and the coast to experience different terrain. Hazards were very real today with an electric fence across the path and a herd of boisterous cows on another one. Sadly a lot of the birds have now left the wetland are to head to warmer climate but we did see some Deer and a number of Lapwings. I am on the road tonight back upto North Wales to run a number of Mountain based courses.
