Positive Outdoors CIC

A day off today so I took the time to complete another qualifying walk towards my Lowland Leader Award. A wet but enjoyable walk in the Ribble Valley visiting Ribchester and Hurst Green.

Much better weather for day 2 of Lowland Leader Award training. Thanks to Stuart Gorman of Ullswater Outdoors for his guidance for the past 2 days👍

Positive Outdoors CIC supports youth groups across Blackburn with Darwen to access fun, inclusive outdoor activities. From confidence-building to wellbeing, we help remove barriers so young people can thrive outdoors. #YouthWork #BlackburnWithDarwen #OutdoorLearning #Wellbeing
