So.. from September 3rd -> 23rd I will be off at Outward Bound. It’s basically a personal development course run through the outdoors. It involves things like getting up at 6am and going for a 3km run and then jumping in the sea (which is cold). And that is just for starters.
I’m excited and quite nervous.. but definitely more excited than nervous. Thing that’ll happen:
- Teach you how to sail, then put you and your 12 mates in a boat for 4 (more?!) days… on your own… in the sea.
- Teach you how to navigate – then off on a hike/tramp for 4/5 days
- ditto kayaking (I think)
So yeah, lots to do.
Now – we are allowed (in fact, encouraged) to send & receive postcards / letters. These can *totally* include things like:
- Stuff you have learned in life and that you think I’d like to learn too….
- Fig Rolls (you can’t get these in NZ – and I miss them like you wouldn’t believe on hikes!)
- Chocolate
- Letters containing deep thoughts about life, the universe, and everything
- Letters containing jokes, frivolaty, and no deep thoughts
- Pictures from your latest holiday
- Pictures from another holiday / your new house / family members / scuba diving, kayaking, extreme planking… whatever it is
These letters, postcards and packages should be sent to :
Patrick Davey
M561
Outward Bound School
Private Bag 403
Picton 7250
It would be absolutely lovely to get them. Anyone who does write will get at least one postcard in response within the next year :)
