They all have diffrent styles but most have kept me coming back visiting them almost daily.

HYMB at night.

HYMB at night

I have mentioned Herts Young Mariners Base before.

This is a council funded outdoor education centre.  We use the facilities on a Monday night for out training sessions be it on the lake they have or in a classroom.   The photo above was taken from next to the lake looking back towards the centre a few weeks ago while we were open boating in the dark!

Tonight at HCl

January 14, 2008

Tonight session at Lifeguards was held at a local swimming pool. This is the second session we have had in the pool recently. It’s a great place to practice you “wet” skills when it’s blooming freezing outside! I swear I saw the local canal frozen over the other day!

We practiced how to approach a casualty safely and various types of swimming contact tows to get the casualty ashore. Lots learnt by all, young and old.

Charmouth

Above is a picture of Charmouth, a beach I worked for a few days last summer. This is a very popular place with fossil hunters!
