Explaining BOLD

 Explaining BOLD - a 2 min read : )

Coaching 

Providing an environment where people can learn to make mistakes. Where its OK to not get it right first (or sometimes only after many times). Lighting a fire to cook food in the back woods is as much about experiencing what does not work, as it is about the success of a culinary delight. 

People

People are products of their environment.

This affects how they see things, and what they see (their perspective).

I may well see something in a completely different way to you... it does not prevent us both bring 'right'. 

Changing

Learning to develop your own BOLD Perspective is 'getting comfortable with challenge'. It's a change in the way we see things, encouraged by immersing yourself in the outdoors... in nature. 

Learning is not linear. It’s progressive. 

Learning is a change in behaviour over time... 

Learning that the outdoors is a real environment, which can at times be unforgiving... it may not distinguish between man and woman, background, appearance or preferences... it will hand out a lesson in humility, in respect. 

We draw inspiration from it's raw beauty and power, opportunity for wildlife encounters and learning about health and happiness in our unique environment.

The Benefits of Outdoor Learning and Development are 'measured' on a different scale ⚖️ 

Perspectives

Developing your own BOLD Perspective will enhance (not replace) existing structure.  It's about seeing what is working well and making that happen more often. 

Bold can be viewed as a philosophy, as a coaching tool, as a window of opportunity where anything is possible... it just depends on how much you truly want it. Is it a priority, is it your priority and why : )

Lucy and Juan complete 'Roof of Britain'



Lucy and Juan completed their Roof of Britain expedition last night 😊🎉🙌 both keen Adventure Club IOM members (training is every Sunday morning in the Isle of Man).
Starting in Loch Linnhe (near Ballachulish) on 14 May evening, the duo headed north, round Cape Wrath, across the wild North coast of Scotland, past John o' Groats, Inverness and finishing back at Mull 25 days later!


Part of their final preparation was the open crossing from Isle of Man to Scotland in March this year, (with Janet, Mark & Keirron) camping overnight then paddling back the next day, with Adventurous Experiences.

Winter skills in Scotland



A magnificent mountain day in Scotland! The team are just back at base in Fort William, cooking up a curry... having climbed Curved Ridge, a superb Grade 3 scrambling route which ascents 850m up the north face of Stob Dearg (the northern Munro summit of Buachaille Etive Mor. Our route may have been a variation 😊❄ loving the snow! Thanks for the beta @adventure.expertise
@jonnyparrclimbing @jimgayler @mountainequipment






Saturday's mission up the Buachaille was day 3 in Scotland for Keirron, who joined Rob, Paul and Ian for a couple of weeks of adventure 😊 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❄ 

Bonnie Scotland




Day 2 in bonnie Scotland 😊 was a great day in the wind n rain, quite a contrast to yesterday's warmup in the Ice Factor, refining a few ice climbing techniques and trying different kit 🔥 The forecast is for 'winter' conditions to begin overnight, v welcome news for the team ❄💪😁

Catch you soon!
