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!  

 

A busy weekend!

Its been a busy few days at the lake with the windsurfers and sailers out in force enjoying near perfect conditions. I spent the weekend with Nigel and Connor on a Powerboat Level 2 course tyring to avoid them. In between the activity clubs enjoyed a rafted canoe race! great weekend. 

Three is the magic number!

Schools have only just gone back after the long summer break so the group sizes have been a bit hit and miss! I took three G.C.S.E students who hope to use the sessions for there PE studies Kayaking.

Rosa takes in tandle!

With a two hour (ish) feeding window! Rosa and I raced up and down tandle this morning. The early morning clag hid any views so heres an old pic of the memorial and trig. 

Back to work

After the most amazing few weeks it was back to work today. Glorious weather and an enthusiastic group meant it wasn't so bad!
