Have had the first two sessions of the BELA course run by East Lothian Outdoor Education Dept. It has been good fun so far, with a really enthusiastic mixed group of East Lothian Council staff. Apart from satisfying the my urge to get out among the hills now and then, it should also allow me to get involved in D of E at Dunbar as well as gain the organisational, leadership skills and confidence needed to take my subject classes out on field trips e.g. Hadrian’s wall.

Friday was spent orienteering around Bonally country park, and yes I did get lost but then making mistakes is all part of learning right?! Also realised I am not as physically fit as my mind thinks I am – must get to the gym some time this week!!

As mentioned before, I’m a huge believer in learning from experience ( see here for more theoretical info ) and this course opens up possibilities of experiential teaching in my career.
