No, not a navigation problem. The sudden demise of the exceptional winter conditions in Wales and the Lakes rather scuppered my plans for the last few weeks. The fact that the snow was replaced by rather damp conditions didn’t offer any decent alternatives either. When we do get a sunny day (today for instance) I’m stuck in the office.
Still, the indoor scene is keeping me active in unexpected ways. Last week I kicked off a four week introductory course at Awesome. We take novices and build their skills from an introduction to climbing through, hopefully, to their first leads.
The week before, I had a call from Andy Say to see if I would be willing to take part in a BMC training film about the CWLA award. So, the day after kicking off the four week introductory course, I was back at Awesome filming with the BMC. The gist of the filming was showing how the CWLA award is aimed at giving you the skills to introduce climbers to leading in a safe and structured way. Thursday I am back at the same wall carrying on that very process.
Life’s little circles…….
