UK Outdoor Bloggers Forum
Well there has been much talk of a forum for UK Outdoor Bloggers - e.g John
I have taken the liberty to setup this free offering. If it develops into a useful resource I will be happy to migrate it to a more permanent home or to hand it over to someone else.
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk-outdoor-bloggers-forum?hl=en
Well its up and you could be the first to post...
I will sweep up the history from your blogs and post them into the forum over the next day or two to start discussions going.
You just need a free google account to register and there are no restrictions at present.

Duke of Edinburgh
Together with another leader we had a group of six enthusiastic teenagers on a planned practice walk through Staunton country park.
I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed my first encounter with a DofE group. It was a great feeling to help them with their navigation and to be "putting something back" into the community.
Whilst time is limited this year I would like to be more involved with DofE in the years to come. To this end I have signed up for the Mountain Leader Award http://www.mlte.org/ so I can start working on my logbook. I hope to complete my ML Training week at Plas y Brenin towards the end of the year.

Craggy Island
We enjoyed a few hours climbing easier grade 3 and 4 as well as attempting a 4+. We took it in turns to watch and belay Alan on some more demanding routes up to 5+.
