Stramash Leadership Training #2 with Glencruitten Hostel

Round 2 of leadership training took place at Ganavan recently, with our 4 interpid trainees from sixth year braving the waves under the watchful eye of Stramash trainer Gordon Smith and H2O folks Ruth Sunderland and Ewen Munro.
The merry band made their way along and in and out of the coast, pausing for instructions, resting for reflection and scurrying in the salty surf, mainly to avoid awfully sharp barnacles. Highlights included some beautiful bellyflops into the crashing waves and magnificent swallow-steps from a great height.
As previously intimated, these young leaders will use their newly honed leadership skills alongside S1 and S2 pupils, supported by Stramash, after the summer break through a series of four sessions.
Many thanks go to Gordon for his wise words and direction over the past two weeks.
