Gwilym's Adventure Blog

Back with my normal students this weekend supervising a 55mile Ten Tors Team on their final practice before the main event in 2 weeks time. After 5 days on the moor, I am almost relieved about the pending office day tomorrow before I am back out from Wednesday onwards

Still working with the Bridgwater College students, today we headed to the Dewerstone with the aim of learning how to set up top ropes and manage a session. During the day all the students had a goo at setting up, climbing, belaying and coiling ropes.

Today, the Bridgwater College students and I headed out into the mist for a day of Navigation training. The morning offered us less than 100m of visibility at time but this cleared to a sunny (if a little humid) afternoon.

Today I was out working with the FdSc Public Services students at Hound Tor. Warm sun and dry rock. We couldn't have asked for more.

Since Friday night I have been flitting back and forth between a Bronze group walking in south Devon and a Silver group paddling on the Exe. All did well and had great weather for it.

Back out with the FdSc students today for some navigation and team work on Exmoor. Amazing weather (and toasted teacakes) during the day.

Today I was working with Foundation Degree students from Bridgwater College at the Activity Centre in Cannington. The aim was to encourage team and leadership skills before we tackle some more adventurous activities over the next 5 weeks.
