  • Wild Swimming on a Wild Day

    I had a really interesting start to the day with my first 1:1 coaching session to help develop the Outdoor Education program that I run. It was a great experience to have someone listen to ideas and ask challenging questions. I finished feeling super motivated. So motivated in fact that we decided to head around… Read more
