October delights - Adventure Club and other stories

A stunning pic by Jenny (an Adventure Club member for some time now) from one of her recent expeditions... Not many of these on the Isle of Man despite numerous sightings, especially when the Guillimots are here in large numbers!

Peel was our put in for Sunday's paddles, with the October Introduction to Sea Kayaking kicking off, as well as different levels of trips and Adventure Club training sessions.

Some swell was still running from the previous few days of wind, and this made paddling close to the cliffs an interesting experience! Further out was quite flat, especially heading North, and the groups who paddled South found some conditions off Contrary Head, on the way to Glenmaye Beach.

Congratulations to Martin Dycher, Sarah Creer and Lauren Roberts on completing the new BCU 3* Sea, as well as those working towards the generic 2* Award, or have just had their first session on the 'Intro' course with us.

***VERY EXCITING***
Those who have not seen the TV clips from new Isle of Man Tourism Marketing campaign, we have the full length one (featuring Adventurous Experiences) on the main website front page for the moment; http://www.adventurousexperiences.com/


You may also have noticed the addition of a few updates - including the profile for Lauren Roberts who officially joined our staffing team recently.

Our Youth Scholarship Program has moved into the concentrated coaching stage, with the seven person team training in both the indoor pool and on the water, as well as in depth route and location planning, fund raising and completing the second year of full time study of their A'Levels!
