Abroad... on the Isle of Man!
Wednesday 25th March, 2009
Well, it involves a flight, it has it's own parliament and legislation, so it's abroad!
I had a great time on the Isle of Man, climbing with staff at the Chasms and then running a Walking Group Leader training course for the staff at The Venture Centre. The photo shows the group on top of Snaefell, which is the island's highest point at 621m. We had walked up late in the day and then set off navigating across the hills walking into darkenss to practice our poor weather/night navigation skills.
As I waited at the airport for my flight home, the group rested and got their mountain bikes ready for their next training course with Jules Fincham for the SMBLA Trail Cycle Leaders Award.
After a half-day rest, I then started a Climbing Wall Award Training course at Redpoint with a group of 5 climbers. It's a busy time!
