Land Rover Freelander 2 (BG57 EHU) 24/10/2024

Still available! And now at a heavily reduced price, making this an absolute steal! She's action packed and ready for your next adventure! πŸ’ͺ🚜

Land Rover Freelander 2 (BG57 EHU) Very reluctant sale of my extremely capable, offroad ready Land Rover Freelander 2! She's been an amazing vehicle for me and my business for the last 6 years, as it happens though, circumstances have changed and I require something with a greater towing capacity. Please also view the linked webpage....

Seriously excited to get stuck in on today's sessions! It's a busy day at the Corsham climbing wall with our home-ed sessions, junior groups and clubs, private coaching sessions and even some tasters in the mix too!

Rainbows are a part of the Girlguiding group, empowering young girls aged 4-7yrs by welcoming them into a program of activities and experiences tailored to promote fun, friendship and learning! Yesterday, my team and I had the great pleasure of hosting a large local troop at the Corsham Climbing Wall! Thanks to the four JSOI team members running Yesterday's session twenty young girls, some of whom had never climbed before, were able to tackle our routes in confidence, cheered on by their peers, parents and leaders! It was an incredibly rewarding evening at the wall, and I hope we'll be seeing plenty of yesterday's climbers back again in the coming weeks and months for some of our regular sessions! πŸ’ͺπŸ§—πŸ’ͺπŸ§—

You can book our regular group and private sessions here:
https://joelselfoutdoorinstructor.weebly.com/corsham-wall-bookings.html

Or if you're interested in brining your own girlguiding or scouting group to the wall for a session or program of sessions, just let me know via an email to [email protected] and I'd love to help organise that for you! πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ§—

Meet Toby! Toby is a strong and fast junior climber... and if anyone doubts that, then you try climbing all 28 of our routes graded 3+ upto 6a, equivalent to 204 meters, in less than 30mins! πŸ€―πŸ§—πŸ’ͺ

That's right, Toby was taking part in our recently staked challenge to climb every route upto the grade of 6a in an hour (full details here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/kG64hDfxX7MNBrKp/ ). But that was too easy for this young legend, and he got through all of that in a record time of just 29:31.33! Not only did Toby climb in that short amount of time, but he also managed to sqeeze in a rest too during those 29mins, and having finished the challenge, proceeded to climb all of our 6a+'s too, just for good measure!

So if, like Toby, you think you have what it takes and want to win yourself two private 1:1 sessions worth Β£50, then follow the link above to see the full challenge details and booking link! Best of luck to you all! πŸ’ͺπŸ§—
