Sunrise Sea Kayaking Yesterday...



Stunning misty dawn across Glengarriff Bay & Nature Reserve 🙂
So much eagle activity, and so many baby seals!
The misty conditions were a cross between Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings...

Winter ML + Climbing Coach :)




Delighted to have got through two recent assessments; Development Climbing Coach and Winter Mountain Leader
🙂
Winter ML has only been a slow burning ambition for the past 20 yrs
🤣
Development Climbing Coach was a fantastic learning journey; and in recent times I've been lucky enough to spend 4 months in the snow and ice of Scottish Highlands...
 
Thanks @alanhalewood + Glenmore Lodge for tough and great assessments!
 
Really excited to be offering Scottish Winter Courses, plus Irish based climbing coaching, going forward, hopefully.
