It's a busy month with lots of work helping out Dan French from Exmoor Adventures. It's really refreshing when local companies can work together to provide a service.
Today I was at Wimbleball Lake on Exmoor working with a group of 12 NCS (National Citizen Service) students delivering a sit on top kayaking session and a raft building session. The 16 year old students are on a 3 week course designed to make them more rounded individuals with the emphasis being teamwork and confidence building.
The morning session we took the sit on top kayaks out on the lake looking at basic kayaking skills, a short journey and a few games for fun. A few capsizes and some great teamwork meant for a good session in the sun.
After lunch the students were split into two smaller teams of 6, given a set of rafting equipment and 45 minutes to plan and build their lake going contraption! As you can see from the photos one teams raft worked a treat whereas the other was a little worse for wear. The difining moment being the race winning team all entering the water to swim out to the sinking raft to help their fellow course members out and swim all the kit back into shore.
Another really good day with a great group of people in a stunning location. The weather is also spoiling us too!!
