How I did it

How to go to Rome

It took me

1 week

It made me

Overwhelmed

How I did it: I got incredibly lucky, I've always wanted to go to Rome and was offered the chance to go with my philosophy class.I paid my fee, and that was that, I didn't really have to do much organising. The school had ran this trip for years so knew what they were doing, I picked up a few things. keep travel costs down by flying cheaply (if you feel up to it, cut out the middle man and book your flight personally) We stayed in a budget … Read how I did it…

Train a Working Border Collie

My dog knows the basics but I'm still training her. 7 months ago

My collie; meg, is about 2 years old now and I’ve had her since she was a pup. She gets the basics like Lie down, come/go by and fetch on and she picked up a few tricks from our other collie.

She’s very keen and seems to live for the chase so much so that it’s difficult to call her off or make her stay.
Meg is the first collie I’ve ever trained and I’m learning as she is, I really recommend buying a training guide/video to keep you right it really helped me at the start.
If you can, you might want to go to a session with a serious trainer who works on the fells. I’m going to see Derek Scrimgeour (one of the English sheep dog trials champions) for 2 days training sessions in the summer.

finish writing my book

Untitled 7 months ago

I’ve actually got two books on the go, one is an alternate history WW2 book and the other is on vampires (vague I know, but I’d rather not talk about it). I’m about halfway through both and have the plots planned out in my head but I can’t decide which to focus on.
Hopefully I’ll have plenty of time to deal with them when my GCSE’s are over and I’m free for the summer.

Climb Napes Needle in the Lake District

Untitled 7 months ago

Napes Needle is one of the most famous climbs in the Lake District (in England), mainly because it was one of the first. Apparently modern rock climbing was invented there.
I live quite near and I’ve climbed Great Gable (the mountain next to it) before so hopefully I’ll get round to it someday.
