I finally have news

Sorry for the extreme delay, but I have been very busy and have not had much time to access the rubbishy internet here.

Anyway, I've completed the basic training course for instructors, and am now about to begin specialist training for the field studies part. I am surprising myself in how well I'm doing actually, but I guess my confidence was always one of my strengths!

I've met some amazing people already, though no guys with any great potential I'm afraid! I was sharing a room with girls Stacey (Welsh, 21) and Nikki (Gloucester, 19) who are hilarious, but I am now sharing a room with another girl called Niki for the rest of the year. She is only 18 (quite a few of that age actually, so I feel quite old!) and a lesbian, but who cares as she's really nice and we get on really well.

I've learnt archery, climbing (including the belaying of the ropes on the ground), low ropes (not the nost exciting thing in the world), quad biking and first aid, so lots of variety.

We have a bar on site, where we spent the evening before our first day off, resulting in me having to snog some fag-breathed chav called Ashley (actually, he's a nice guy) for a bottle of wine. This was later consumed yesterday evening before our second big night out. You see, all trainees came here for ther basic training, but there are loads of centres in the UK and France, so lots of people left this morning. So not only was last night a celebration of our successful completion, but it was also to say goodbye properly. We all went out to Chicago Rocks in Newport, got wrecked, and generally had a brilliant night.

So that's what I have been doing so far. Hopefully, I may be able to keep you updated on any developments regularly! And don't forget I want to know what you're all doing too.....
