Activity club

As the nights draw in so the activity club season comes to an end for another year. Escaping the desk I ran the kayaking at the end of season regatta. Prizes were dished out and the buffet was enjoyed. Great day.

Climbing incognito

Another busy Saturday at the lake. NICAS in the morning and some blindfold climbing, then kayaking with the activity club in the afternoon all squeezed in before the most almighty downpour.  

Superstars

We ran sessions for the 'get on track' project today and were joined by a couple of superstars. Charlotte Hartley and Sophie Cox brought their groups to the lake. The group memebers are in the process of finding employment and from what I saw it shouldnt take long. Great sessions. 

New role

I've been stuck in the office this week having taken on the Outdoor Development role at the lake. However I did  manage to get out on the new MTB courses we've run which have been a huge success. No pics this week, but as we look forward to a good winter (fingers crossed) heres a few snowy shots.

Fox Stone Cairn

Sarah, Rosa and I took a walk up to the cairn on fox stone today. Its one of the prominent gritstone features on the edge above dovestones and can be seen from the valley floor. A decent down Ashway gap made for a nice round. To cap of the walk we got to see the Peregrines through the RSPB telescopes set up on the site of Ashway Gap House.

A busy week!

I headed up to Kendal indoor climbing centre this week to complete the BMC Fundamentals course. Ian Dunn did a fantastic job and sent us away with lots of new ideas to improve our sessions. I was back at the Lake today where I ran kids club kayaking before driving the R.I.B for Lewis's windsurfing course. Great finish to a great week!
