GPS Tracking a Lesson (or Going around in circles!)

 So I decided to run to RDA for a short afternoon where I had a couple of free hours.  I managed to run all the way there without stopping, the hill out of the dip is less of an incline on the way there, plus it is at the start of the mile.  However, on the way back the hill is steeper and its right at the end of the mile!

I'm getting closer but i still haven't completed the challenge of this epic hill climb! It doesn't show very well on the GPS, in fact depressingly so because this is one heck of a hill!  I've made it about 3/4 of the way now but i'm hoping that eventually i can include this hill in a loop. Eventually......

I also put my watch on for one of the lessons outside when i was side helping at Penniwells.  This is what an RDA lesson at Penniwells looks like via GPS!  Half a mile for one lessons - Some days volunteers can do up to 5 or 6 lessons a day, thats after tidying and tacking up horses etc.

RDA Volunteers work hard.  When I get changed into my jods, people ask me if i'm going to ride.  When i reply that i'm going to help others ride, I feel it often gets dismissed as "thats a nice thing" However many don't often know that works that goes on behind the scenes.

As well as raising awareness of the 2 RDA groups and the marathon and the fundraising, one of the reasons i love blogging about this is to let others know what goes on at Riding for the Disabled.  All the little jobs that go on, the fact that you don't even need to go near a horse to help out with a group.

 Or if you love horses it can be a great way to spend time with them, helping others whilst the horses help you.
