Providing coaching support for UBOC/BUMC training day at Gwaelod and then Llangynidr. Not a lot that I needed to do other than help get them thinking as they were going around. Dan and Sophie going a great job leading the sessions and ensuring everyone was engaged.
Did more on Llangynidr as it”s flatter. Cloud had come down by now and cold in wind and occasional drizzle. As it was Bath’s turn to collect in at the end, and they are generally less experienced, we decided it would be a good idea if I went out to make sure we didn’t lose anyone.
With their “best” and got the 4 furthest flags, practicing a lot of skills on the way. First flag was 2k away on the edge of the map (nobody else went to it today!), was worried that we had somehow overshot badly - but did pretty well. Last three all shorter and needed less guidance. Would have liked the map to have all the rocky ground on it! A hell of a lot more physical than I remember - much of the time in knee to thigh deep vegetation, soft ground. Really good practice for me physically and mentally - and definitely tiring towards the end (and it was starting to get dark)
Around 20 students out, plus me and Matt in the morning, and a good group that seemed to be enjoying it. It’s good to see UBOC so much better than when I was running it!

Hopefully not too tired for tomorrow.
