For an insight into what my son and his fellow cadets got up to when they went offshore have a read of this report.

Thank you @UlyssesTrust for supporting the unit to make this experience possible https://twitter.com/RossMonmouthSC/status/1198958499344060418

  • The adventurous spirit... Crossing the Merced river by shooting star meadow. JMT 2003. 🌟 I have been an Ambassador for @ulyssestrust for the last three years. They are an organisation that raises money to support Reservists and Cadets participating in adventurous activities. I was asked by them recently what “Adventure” meant to me. The question encouraged reflection on the main influences on my life-path so far. Looking back I appreciate how my family nurtured an adventurous spirit in me from my childhood. Creating opportunities for a bright and curious mind to explore new horizons and push boundaries without ever feeling dangerously out of depth or unsupported. I’ve come to believe that it’s this adventurous spirit, rather than the adventure itself which is most important; and we don’t have to travel to the other side of the world to nurture this. The essence of adventure is in finding the courage, both physical and mental, to take on a new challenge. Something where success is not guaranteed and there is real risk of some kind of loss should you fail. The real prize is not the success itself but the opportunity for personal growth... and the hidden beauty of this is that personal growth can happen whether you succeed or fail. You can be your own quiet observer in this process. When you feel hesitant to step forward, fearful of rejection or daunted by the possibility of failing in something that matters to you... take note of those moments, for they are the subtle way-markings of adventure. You can choose to follow the path... to calm your nerves and step forward into the fray. Sure, you may not always succeed, but the flip side is that no one who takes that first step in full awareness ever really fails. The challenges you set yourself may not get easier... but by nurturing an adventurous spirit, taking that first step does get easier; and recognising the way-marks of adventure that are all around us in our everyday lives becomes almost intuitive. “We have nothing to fear, except fear itself” #franklindroosevelt #adventure #thewayofadventure #takethefirststep #thejourney #adventuretraining #crosstheriver #johnmuirtrail #liveyourdreams @brit_mt_guides
  • Exploring old shepherds paths to punta Giradilli which soars above Pedra Longa and the start of the classic selvaggio blu trek. 🧗🏻‍♀️⛰🐐 I’m using these shortening Autumn days to explore the Orosei coastline more deeply and finalise planning for next years adventures out here in Sardinia. If you are looking for the perfect combination of inspiration, excitement, challenge and relaxation then come out and join me! I can promise you an immersion in this timeless coastline where these complex mountains meet the sea. Time here forges lasting memories that will uplift you long into the future! 🌟🥰 I’ll be posting more details later this month. #sardinianadventures #theadventurouslife #funforallthefamily #costadibaunei #limestonelovers #mountaingoat #surefooted #enduringmemories #springbreak #reconnectwithnature #sardiniainmyheart #simpleattraction #lovemywork #britishmountainguides
  • The autumn season here begins to tail off and there is a step change in the number of visitors. Direct flights from Europe practically stop for the winter... and yet the waters stay warm and inviting, the beaches hauntingly empty and the Orosei coast regains a little wildness that is lost in the summer crowds. Thank you @marilovicu86 for a wonderful day, your smile and energy lifts and lightens always. Learning to love this island through your radiant friendship feels as if I’ve found a corner-piece of my life jigsaw. 🥰🤗 #cornerpiece #truefriendship #soulsisters #sardinia #oroseicoast #orosei #sardiniansea #sardinianadventures #strongforever #radiantsmile #totalbeauty #biglove
