Hi everyone! I thought id give a quick update as my page looks like its been totally abandoned....
Im pregnant! (eeeeeeep) the first few months were really rough so I cancelled a lot of work and I am now in the really lucky position of being able to take some time off to finish growing the baby and then look after the baby and work out how life looks after its arrival. Mountain rescue 2025...2026?!?
Im planning on getting back to teaching in 2025 and until then will be learning about trekking and being outdoors with a teeny tiny person- I cant wait!!!!! Im still available via email for enquiries or to recommend other outdoor first aid trainers or mountain leaders.

Fab job with a wonderful organisation :-) Stomping Grounds Forest School North East

We're recruiting!

Our specialist work is expanding and we're looking for therapeutic, creative, neuro-affirming practitioners to join our Therapeutic Forest School team.

Our work is a mixture of 1-1 and small group work, usually from our woodland in Prudhoe but sometimes in other outdoor locations across the North East.

We are looking for Level 3 Forest School practitioners, Outdoor Learning practitioners and those with experience of working inclusively with children and young people who are struggling to access mainstream education due to unmet SEN or SEMH needs.

If this sounds like the type of work you'd love, please email [email protected] for an application pack.

Ad Hoc lead and support roles currently available. We have roles for those who already have their Forest School leadership training, and those who might be interested in working towards it.

Subject to safeguarding checks.

Two tickets have become available for the next Wild Food Foraging Walk, the first of the Summer sessions and a previously sold out event.

It is taking place on Saturday May 14th, right in the centre of Cramlington around the Seven Oaks and Doddington Wood area of town. If you have only ever thought of foraging as a countryside activity, then come along and discover the abundance of seasonal food growing on your doorstep! Last weekend we looked at over 15 different wild and edible plants growing in another urban park - 15!

If you're interested in booking to come along, I'll pop the link for the tickets in the comments below. There are still free child tickets available as well, so long as they come along with a ticketed adult.

Hope to see you there!

This will be brilliant!

Kinder in Colour are hoping to create one of the largest countryside gatherings of People of Colour in English history! The walk in Edale in the Peak District will start at 14:00 and end at 19:00/19:30 - food and refreshments will be provided, and those that are fasting will get food to takeaway.
We are reaching out to BPOC groups across the country and want as many People of Colour as possible to come on the day.
This event is led by BPOC groups and centres their needs and contributions. Non-BPOC allies are of course welcome to attend in solidarity too. We are arranging a coach from Newcastle upon Tyne. Do you know anyone that would be interested?

The amount of times I've been guiding someone and you can see they're suffering a bit and I've just plainly said..

'have you ever heard of type 2 fun?' 😅

Our mind has a natural handbrake called the 'Central Govenor' and it is often this that comes into play when things get tough, trying to tell you to stop and not put yourself through any more misery. But we've all been there when you finally get to the top, finish that run or conquer that hilly Road on your bike where you feel over the moon. That is type 2 fun.
