The second week of the archery course went well. There is a young girl who has suprised me with her form. She is about 9-10yrs, & her form is that of an experienced archer...already. A little bit of tidying up, & experience, she will be a force to reckon with...SHE IS GOOD

I also am a walk leader in South Derbyshire. This is a healthy way to meet people & also to explore our local countryside. I did not realise I was so fortunate in what I have in my local area. Yuo might hav seen my article about my archery course at Rosliston. Well, my walkleaders course was taken there & we do a themed walk ever month, plus I take walkers out & about in my own locality. Here are 3 pictures taken whilst on some walks

I recently started a new beginners course at Rosliston Forestry Centre. I had 8 pupils out of 11. It would seem that of the 3 who did not turn up, 1 has decided to opt out for the September course, which will be done Saturday mornings.
Here is Wayne Chesterman, trying out my Longbow before the lessons started. He is the Director of the Centre. He is also into Falconry, & puts on displays. Other activities include Laser Skeet, Laser Quest (this is inside a "Dome"), Combat in the woods, this is paintball without the paint, laser guns, rocket launchers etc.etc . This is one hell of a game. I was at the trials when Wayne was on the lookout for equipment, Sad to say, I was not as young as I thought. I had a great time trying out all the equipment, but paid the price over the following week...But it was worth every aching muscle & joint If you want more details on the centre, http://www.roslistonforestrycentre.co.uk/
