Volunteering - undertaking service to individuals or the community.

Physical - improving in an area of sport, dance or fitness activities.

Skills - developing practical and social skills and personal interests.

Expedition- planning, training for and completion of an adventurous journey in the UK or abroad.

I wish both groups the best of luck and I look forward to working with them!

Leaders of Tomorrow Weekend 19-21 September 2008

2008-09-22T17:19:00.005+01:00

The 4th LOT weekend is now finished! We had beautiful sunny weather in Edale and 3 eager participants after a few people withdrew.

We had fantastic weekend and were able to do a lot of activities due to the smaller group - Crate Tower, Leap of Faith, Raft Building, Canoeing, Night Walk and Jacobs Ladder.

Everyone performed very well and the group worked together to beat the Hostel record for highest crate tower - 25 crates high! There is still the staff record of 32 to beat and we're working on it...

The raft building was impressive with the group designing and constructing the raft without any help from the YHA staff! Unfortunately half of the raft came apart which meant some people getting wet but it stayed together to allow us to get back to shore.

We tried Jacobs Ladder for the first time which was challenging but everyone performed well and we reached the top with no accidental falls!

See the photos from the weekend below:

We will advertise when the next LOT Weekends are on, please check back for more information!

First LOT Level 2 Weekend, 4-6 July 2008

2008-07-18T16:52:00.006+01:00

We had a fun weekend at Edale for our first Leaders of Tomororw Level 2 weekend focusing on developing leadership.

The group had nine people who had finished their Level 1 courses spending two busy days working on their leadership skills. We had to fit our plans around the weather which was wet in the mornings and sunny in the afternoons! Flexibility was the key word for everyone.

The activities we did included a Search and Rescue for a missing "dummy" team member, a hike up to Mam Tor (avoiding a friendly or hungry ram!) and climbing. Everyone worked hard and did very well at completing the challenges given to them by Jez and Vinny (and the other great YHA Instructors who helped us).

And if they can't hear us

We shout a little louder
We shout a little louder
