Paragliding, climbing, family adventure days...

Over the last few weeks I have got some flying in, had a weekend trip climbing in north wales, and have run three courses for will4adventure.

Here is a short, poorly edited film from paragliding in the peaks; I am really enjoying my paragliding at the moment, it is refreshing and exciting to be learning something completely new...



Last week, on the 4th of April I ran a climbing course; as the weather forecast wasn't looking good, I asked the clients if they would like to re-schedule, but as they couldn't we went ahead.....however when I arrived in hathersage there was a foot of snow! in April! and it was still falling fast! So we had to escape to 'the edge' (an indoor wall), and still managed to have a fun exciting day..
Client feedback:
Despite the terrible weather and horrific road conditions, with a lot of help from James we managed to have a great day. I learnt everything I hoped to and more, the whole day was full of adrenaline fuelled laughs. Needless to say this is just the beginning of my rock climbing experience.

Many thanks

Last weekend I went to north wales, to teach a friend some outdoor / multi-pitch climbing skills, the forecast looked bleak, however we managed to find dry rock for both days; spending a day at tremadog and a day at gogarth main wall.

Recently, on the 10th/11th of April, I was with a family of four, teaching rock climbing, specifically teaching the parents how to set up top-ropes, whilst keeping the their two young girls happy and entertained; also teaching them climbing skills. It was nice to see such an adventurous family!

Most recently I ran a family adventure day, this involved a treasure hunt, (geocashing), where the young girls would use the GPS to find hidden treasure (usually sweets, picture, sticker, or treasure map) which would be hidden in a 'squeeze' / weasel (a gap in the boulders that you have to squeeze through). The afternoon was spent abseiling and rock climbing.
