Skern Training and Skills Outdoor team have been exploring the Lake District. We went on an exhibition starting from Glenridding, we paddled to Hallin Fell via Canoes, a SUP and a sea kayak. When we got to Hallin Fell we participated in a wild camp ensuring that we embedded the "leave no trace" ethos and reflected on the John Muir award and also our teaching strategies for our Level 3 Outdoor Activity Instructor Apprenticeship. The following day, we continued to Pooley Bridge stopping off at various points on route to collect litter across the shoreline, we ended up collecting a large bin bag full. It was a great experience as a novice paddler and it was a great opportunity to connect with nature.
