Busy times

It's been a while since my last blog update just due to being a busy period.  The work at Youthzone, Blackburn has been great, working alongside some really enthusiastic staff and young people.  The climbing wall proved really popular during the SOFT openings so has given 'food for thought' with future ideas to the NICAS award for the young people and opening a climbing club.  A really positive start.

Mountainexploits Pendle witch walks are all on the calendar now with alot of interest, also much interest in our Lancashire dairy walks, especially getting to taste the various lancashire cheeses.

I've also been covering a number of Yorkshire 3 Peaks events which you'll have seen from the previous blogs.  This is a great event if you are considering a challenge event this summer for charity or just as a group.

As well as this I'm managing to fit in swim training for my swim in June which I am doing for the Combat Stress charity.  If you feel like donating to this please see my Justgiving page, thanks very much to all those who have donated so far.

Lancashire Milk Fields

Real Cheese

Out on another recce today with Dave, this time we have put together a series of walks centred around the Lancashire Milk fields.  This is a real dairy area, with farms supplying some of the big supermarket chains, and some great cheese suppliers.  The beauty of these walks is you not only get the chance to walk in some of Lancashire's beautiful countryside but you also get to try some of the produce along the way.
This particular walk today started and ended in the picturesque village of Garstang and this walk we will be offering on Thursdays as it ties in with the local market, so some real quality produce on offer. Dates soon to be published.
