 I have just got back from a couple of days in North Wales on a Water Skills Academy SUP Adventure Guide training course run by Dave Brown A day riding the flow through the Menai Strait and a day off the coast of Anglesey with the seals in warm weather made a a great few days of learning. Of course, come assessment time it will be wet and windy to make up for it

After a relaxing Sat evening on the mooring being treated to some formation flying by the Canada Geese, on Sunday it was off and over to Cawsand for lunch on anchor before trying hard to "goosewing" all the way back to the Mew Stone. Sadly  the light variable winds made this pretty difficult but it was still good fun trying.

  Today started with facilitating a Beach Lifeguard exam before ending up have a Coasteering session to a bit of CPD for a group of Outdoor Instructors from Swanage. All 3 who were being examined passed. Well Done Off to a yacht for the night

 Today was in the sun on The River Parrett at Langport, catching up with an old friend (we think 25 years since we last met) and then a party group in the afternoon

 A relaxing 3 day break on The River Yealm with Carol and Ruby (the dog) on Yacht Janira. This was all about no wifi, no laptop and having a beak, Floating about, drinking coffee, dinner at The Ship Inn and general chilling out.

4 days of assessing Gold DofE on Dartmoor. Great to get out and about myself whilst seeing the group in various location throughout the expedition.

  This morning I was down at one of my favourite locations, Anstey's Cove working a Coasteering session with a group of Explorer Scouts for Somerset Adventures. After work (ie midday ish) there was time for a splash about on SUPs with Robin and Ben although probably more time was sent in the water than on the boards!
