How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives - Annie Dillard
What a great quote and with the last of our HCC Inspiring you weekends for families who have a member(s) with a disability last weekend what a perfect analogy. Those who attended enjoyed an early spring weekend and the pictures below give you a good story of an inspiring weekend, and we will be working jolly hard to find further funding to support more weekends in 2011/12:
Our bushcraft was very popular and it did not matter what your ability was there was great chance for everyone to do something not experienced before and most importantly get something from it.
Fishing was as ever, very popular and it had an excellent therapeutic effect on participants. All fish caught were safely returned to the lake and there were many stories of how big the fish were that were caught......
We also had a bird display on the Sunday which everyone enjoyed learning about the birds and especially about the origins of the owls 'Twit Twoo'
ITV meridian TV also visited and you can see a short piece about the weekend at
Also we did not want to finish without showing you the creative work produced by Beechwood School this week whilst staying, it’s a credit to the children’s imagination and inspiring how creative they can be with just a little encouragement and guidance.To find out more about Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Activity Centre and the many varied opportunities we offer please contact us on Tel; 01425 672347 or email info@ukyouth.org or view our website http://www.avontyrrell.org.uk/ or follow our twitter http://twitter.com/#!/y7dw
We had lots of boating opportunities for participants and the variety ensured everyone could have ago, and clearly enjoy exploring our large lake with all its wildlife.
