Seeds of Change

The Heb was great. 'Pyro' has managed to get some great photos ont'web via Flickr - search on Pryo's Yard Productions or The Heb Challenge and you will be sure to find them. The photos bring back all of the good memories and only some of the pain and anguish, and of that, it is only 'Type Two', ie retrospective pleasure?

Plans are being talked about for 'Heb 2009'; talking plans is fun and easy, making firm and commitment is a corner we are yet to round.

Having recovered from The Heb my next challenge was to discover that our venue for the next NAV+art course was double booked. Hence, this has involved several phone calls and emails regarding availabity of venue, tutors and clients of course, but hey... we are now back up and running. The course is now 13/14th September at Bampton in the Haweswater Valley, and uses the Loadpot Hill / High Street fells similair to the KIMM in 2005. Ironically, that is why we moved away from Bampton in the first instance. It's quite possibly the last NAV+art course at Bampton, so if you've read about how 'unique' the place is come along and find out. I'm pondering a re-launch and shake up with new venue for 2009. Full details of the September course are available on http://www.joefaulkner.com/ although the 'July News' and date amendment might not be there just yet. (Because my webmaster and me can't move as fast as blogspot)

My apologises go to anyone inconvenienced by this change. The new date will be just as good. There is also the possibility that experienced OMM'ers, can come along just for the Sunday pratice event and run it as pair with thier partner. There will be a small charge for this; contact me if you are interested in doing so.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to the Open24 this weekend, in apart of Wales I used to know in a dim and distant youthfulness...if I shake of this sore throat! It's nice to be going somewhere different. After that, the adventure is 'only' the Borrowdale Fell race. Less is more.

Have fun,

Joe
