So I have now landed in Southport, which is almost local turf for me as a Lancashire lad. I am really looking forward to get stuck in with the advanced outdoor first aid. #firstaidcourse #advancedfirstaid #outdoorfirstaid #outdoorleadership #mountainleader #watersidelodge

Lots of cool community walks to look forward to taking place across South Lancashire and into Greater Manchester throughout March. #walkinggroup #groupwalks #communitywalks #walking #hiking #trekking #bolton #boltonwalking #lancashire #lancashirewalks #naturewalks #winterwalks
