Meeting the guide for the day at Ravenglass station, the package kicks off with a short walk to the nearby bathhouse of the Roman Fort of Glannaventa, the remains of which are amongst the most substantial in the country. Next it’s a steam train through Miterdale and Eskdale to Dalegarth and Fellbites, where a freshly prepared lunch is served. Then it’s off by luxury mini buses to ascend the notorious Hardknott pass with its hairpin bends and 1-in-3 gradients. Mediobogdum, the Roman name for this stone-built fort, stands on a plateau about halfway up the ascent. The footings of the fort survive and the guide brings these to life, while also describing just what can be seen from this spectacular vantage point. Even the Isle of Man is visible on a clear day! Following more than adequate time for exploration and photography, it is back to Dalegarth to catch the steam train bound for Ravenglass. For all participators to enjoy this outstanding day out to the full we have to restrict numbers to 24-people per week. Pre-booking is therefore essential.

This 8 hour appointed persons first aid course covers all the essential life saving and emergency responses in the home, the workplace and in leisure activities and provides continual assessment and feedback. It is both interactive and purposeful. This course is endorsed by the Health and Safety Executive, providing a first aid qualification as sought by many in the workplace nowadays. Just one of many feedback emails received regarding these first aid courses: Just to say thanks for the first aid course. I was not looking forward to an eight hour concentrated course. I have been on them many times and nearly always found them tedious and a chore. A lot of information to be put in a short time. Usually for me that meant not a lot of information retention after a couple of hours. However, the course on Monday was inspirational. Alisdair's enthusiasm shone through and lasted the whole day. Not only did my rear end not complain from sitting in the same position but there was not a single moment when I was bored. Certainly the best first aid course I have been on. The food and hospitality was great.
