1 more week on...

One week further into my Gap Year and now I'm a qualified Archery leader! The assessment was on wednesday and the whole group of us passed it, so were all pretty chuffed. Last monday we had a couple of freelance instructors in to teach us various things, like time filling games which we can use if we finish a session early or were waiting on something to get set up. They also took us down to the Fire pit and tried to teach us how to light a bonfire. We managed to get it lit, but it never stayed lit long. So instead we learned campfire songs around the soggy fire pit(as it had been raining the weekend before). On Thursday we started a two day first aid course, which was really good, although we had to get up earlier and start our day at 8!

But on the whole I'm loving my time there :)

3 Weeks In

Ok thats me just finished my third week, Moved into my little staff house last night so im home for the weekend to get all my stuff.

Last week was really fun, On the monday we worked on how to lead small groups, I enjoyed this part, as we got harnessed up and tied together as a big group and went round part of the ropes course. However while we were working on monday I was slightly ill, and this illness spread throughout the gap years, a couple of people even had to take a day off because they were so ill! Only one of us was completely unaffected though and he is delighted by that.

On wednesday and thursday we did some bike training, which was really fun. We learned about fixing punctures and fixing chains. It was a really interesting couple of days.

Now im just looking forward to next weeks events!
