The first part of the month was preparing and brushing up skills for some outdoor leaders heading towards their Walking Group Leader Award, based on Dartmoor. I have also spent a lot of time in my sea boat training and using some new wing paddles from Lettmann, although I am very comfortable in calm conditions, if I am going to use these as the main propulsion for Around Britain next year, I need to spend more time with the wing blades in rough water.
The rest of the month I have been delivering BCU/UKCC Coach Education Programmes around the country working alongside some really creative and inspiring directors and tutors. I have also been delivering moderation events for Canoe England and the British Canoe Union for Directors for the Level 1 award and White Water Safety & Rescue providers.
The Around Britain 4 Britain website has had a facelift with text donation capabilities and more information on the sponsors backing the event for 2013. If you want to get involved, help out or sponsor the worthwhile causes visit: www.aroundbritain4britain.co.uk
