Good day today, coffee, cake, lunch, more coffee and then a nice afternoon at Chudleigh with good mate Olly for some chilled cragging in the sun.  6 pitches, 4 different routes all on warm and somewhat polished limestone.

A nice day observing an instructor from Somerset Adventures lead a group Coasteering at Anstey's Cove.  Wet and High Adventures Ltd are currently not offering Coasteering as an activity so if you want to partake in this, we highly recommend Somerset Adventures who we have worked with over the last year to get their staff all trained up.

  Back on the hill with the Mountain Leader Training course looking at putting everything together that we have covered so far.  A mountain journey staying below the summits to avoid the worst of the weather, encountering steep ground, navigational challenges, flora, fauna (infamous Tryfan goats) and glaciation.

  Leaving the assessment team in the capable hands of Dewi, I was out with the Mountain Leader Training course today looking at all things steep ground but as always, the natural environment was discussed with loads of butterwort seen today. Anchors, spotting, belaying, abseiling and route finding were all part of what we covered today

  Day 1 of a Mountain Leader Assessment I am working on for Wet and High Adventures Ltd . Today was a wet day on Tryfan's North Ridge looking at managing a group on steep ground.  It was very wet and slippery which added to the challenge.

  An excellent morning afloat with a Mums and Sons Stand up paddleboard session on the canal on the outskirts of Bridgwater.  Wet and High Adventures Ltd offer beginner session and a hire service for the more experienced.

  A third ridiculously hot day on Dartmoor for the final day of the Hill and Moorland Leader Assessment course for Wet and High Adventures Ltd . If you can't find shade, create your own!
