Building Bridges.

Below are the pictures from the latest bridge building problem solving activity I have been putting together for Boulder Adventures.

Moel Eilio.

Last week Pete and Nicky visited, hill walking was on the agenda. The criteria for the day was to walk out of the centre, so no cars, not Snowdon and stay out of the clouds. The cloud base was forecast at 700m and possibly rising so we chose Moel Eilio via Telegraph Valley, Foel Goch and Foel Gron. I now look forward to the decent of Moel Eilio on a bike looks good fun.

Llyn Padarn Improvements?

Who knows maybe we will see even more improvement to our lake! The fishermen seem to be leading the way for future developments and an increase in water quality. This story suggests a change of tune from the EA. BBC news story.

Not a Problem.

After starting the year working with Princes Trust Teams and apprentice training courses February sees a little time to start putting together some new events. I have been spending lots of time designing development courses, one course for a car manufacturer and another for apprentices.

RUN TINGZ CRU Vs Hi::def Sound System

On Friday 17th February I have got the Run Tingz Cru from Bristol joining us on the Sound System, expect a big Jungle night. Facebook event page.

Start as I mean to go on.

After being busy working over New Year it has been good to get out during the last couple of weekends and catch up with friends. Sunday the 8th managed a quick rundown the Lower Tryweryn with Ben, great level to progress his paddling and having not been there for so long found it nicer than I remembered.The weekend just gone I managed to see my old partners in crime Pete and Kelv, we managed a couple of days in the hills one on foot one on wheels. Saturday a fantastic day on Pen yr Ole Wen. Sunday was spent on the hills above Llanfairfechan but not sure where as we dropped down on the wrong track running out of time to put right our mistake. Consequently had to return via the North Coast cycle way rather than through the hills.

Happy New Year.

The New Year saw me back at work with guests staying; they had a good party last night, I managed to finish by 2.30 which is pretty good. The group where all into their music so we had the party in the training room with the mini system pumping old school dance tunes. A good time off has been had over the Christmas break visiting family and friends for Christmas itself, returning to Llanberis for a sound system night with the Krooked Krew boys and a morning on the river with Matt.
