I now work in outdoor education but that is just the latest change of direction in a life lived full. I worked in child care on leaving college, becoming one of the first residential care officers to get a formal qualification from Derby Lonsdale College.
Seven years of intensive work with youngsters in residential care was rewarding and draining. The wish to start a family …… (to be continued!)
Good to meet you on Sunday on the Eden.
I asked about local rivers to paddle which would for a 2/3 day trip and you mentioned the Soar. I would be grateful if you could provide me a few details of the route (put ins, take outs and suggested camp spots). Many thanks Louis
Hi Andy
I really didn’t do justice to the feedback form from last weekends Level 1 Coach assessment. So, thank you for a really good day in canoes! I learned plenty, enjoyed picking your brains and really liked your relaxed style that put us all at ease. It was great to meet you too.
Cheers!
Paul
Thanks Paul, all the best with your paddling and other activities. I like the website http://mountainmagic.org.uk/
I saw you made the drawings in this summary of some paddle draws. We would like to use them in a Swedish context while educating instructors.
