Coasteering Day
Dear Lloyd,
Just a note to thank you for a FANTASTIC Coasteering Day. We weren’t sure
what to expect and confess to feeling a bit anxious, although we needn’t have
worried – you had the whole day carefully planned from start to finish and
everyone had a great time.
It was refreshing to find an activity to suit all ages, from ten to "well over
twenty one", (ok, forties!!!) in our group. Our rugby fitness freak teenagers
and couch potatoes alike enjoyed the exhilarating challenge presented by coasteering.
We appreciated your friendly encouragement to “have a go”, without pressure,
whilst feeling secure in your professionalism and the knowledge that your risk assessment
and awareness of our surroundings were full and ongoing.
The mini bus service added to the fun and allowed us to make the most of our day
as a group, and we loved your new wet suits, life jackets and helmets – very
fetching! Janet’s comment “Would somebody PLEASE buy this guy a telly
or a Play Station?” as we bobbed around in The North Sea belied the fun we
had. The photo’s you took have given us evidence of our sense of adventure
– or is it madness?
Everyone wants to know when the next Coasteering Day is and, as news has travelled,
it looks like you’ll need another mini bus!
Thanks again Lloyd,
Best wishes,
Anne Kirkley

Level of instruction was excellent - especially with the gorge walking and the climbing.bUse
of wetsuits was much appreciated by all for our water activities this year.

The work Lloyd and his team at Outdoor-Ambition have achieved with our students
has gone far beyond my expectations.
We began to work together in October 2007 devising a programme and he started working
with our students in January 2008.
Lloyd took on a group of very challenging students who are now, a well disciplined,
highly motivated group of Year 11 students, who have just completed their Certificate
in Sport and public service.
My students will place themselves on a waiting list to join Outdoor-Ambition, as
we have groups out now on 3 days a week.
We look forward now to delivering Sport Diplomas from September 2009. Lloyd is a
very valuable member of KS4 Engagement and the success he has given our students
is fantastic.
