Unit 9: Outdoor and adventurous expeditions. Unit 10: Skills for Land-based Outdoor and Adventurous Activities
Please can lectures use this page to review my performance in each expedition and training (P4, M3, D2)
Hiking Review:
Demonstrated articulation of given instruction, and was able to relay appropriate information to the entire group ensuring that all felt valued and aware of where they had to go and the time in which he expected them to be there. There was an awareness of the needs of the group including health and safety, and this was combined with good time keeping and group management. Ben was also confident to ask questions of staff on geographical positioning and navigational skills. Ben was able to relate to the group very well due to his interpersonal skills and empathy with others.
Mountain Biking Review:
Ben demonstrated proficient skills on set instruction from group leaders. The primary session revolved around fundamental mountain biking skills where students were asked to perform an "M"check unaided from a previous theory session. This was then progressed to basic balancing and position skills, both at speed and with technical terrain. There was also some close riding techniques (within circles) to give a greater appreciation of bike handling and physical awareness of demands of the equipment and physical elements of the activity. Ben was able to articulate and demonstrate all of the above with effort and enthusiasm with a degree of skill and competency.
