Time to take stock

It’s go, go, rest.
I’ll be honest, I haven’t been as productive as could have been this week. I’m not hugely upset by that, sometimes I would be but this week I’m just not too bothered.
Monday saw me head to Wellington for the first of my Work Stream meetings for the “Safeguarding” within Enabling Good Lives on Tuesday. I realised that I’m really not used to “urban” travel when I only had to pack one change of clothes and toiletries. I’m so used to having pack literally everything I’d need, it feels very odd to have only one small bag and ADNZ Ben’s bags.

Quick Video Update:
 
A quick update, trying to keep it simple. All links required should be in the YouTube description. There is a transcript, if its not let there or the links don’t work me know and I’ll try something new, this is very much a learning curve for me! 
Feel free to comment below!!!

Another busy week!

So a lot has happened since my last post. This post is just going to cover one topic, and I’ll write more during the week about what else I have been up to!

General update.

I haven’t posted a lot since the climbing competition. Once we got home and got ADNZ Ben sorted out, I crashed and have been having a few health issues.

Paraclimbing Trip: Part II

Competition Day 1!
Qualification Rounds
 
I woke on Saturday 19th of August somewhat nervous. I knew I would be a little nervous, after telling myself for the days leading up to the competition “it’s ok, you’re just going to go have fun, climb, enjoy it and promote paraclimbing” but my mind had other ideas. I’ve always been “sporty” and competitive and that part of my brain kicked in and the mental game was on.

Time to catch my breath! Paraclimbing Trip Part I

It’s been a full on few weeks!
 
Climbing NZ, Paraclimbing trip (I)
Well it’s certainly been a busy few weeks, and things didn’t go quite to plan; but it has certainly been a bit of an adventure! I’m having to take it a little easy so thanks for being patient on waiting on my blog and pictures, I am getting there, its just taking longer than I would like!

I have broken my Climbing NZ Paraclimbing Competition weekend into a series of blogs. This is Part I: Getting to Auckland.
