Keep in touch
Onwards and Upwards
During January we have been making the most of the winter weather by updating, refreshing and sharing our skills and knowledge. Staff from our sister centre over in South Tyneside, Simonside OA, came to stay with us for a few days. We packed plenty in: advanced First Aid techniques, winter skills on Helvellyn and an evening paddle on the lake on the giant SUP’s. Then it was up to Scotland for some Winter Mountaineering for some of the Thurston team, followed by a weekend of paddling on the North Tyne and Eden.
Congratulations! Well done to Centre Assistant / Trainee Instructor Josh on passing his Mountain Leader Award (summer). The ML is a big tick for any aspiring Instructor and we are proud of both of our Trainees for gaining the award during their time with us.
