Venturing Out CIC

We had a great Easter weekend spending time with some our ASN Families! On Friday, we had a great gathering in @Gifford_Woods Easter Sunday was all about Tree Climbing and creating opportunities to try completely new things! @ELOutdoorEd @ELCouncil

Great to get out into the #Pentlands last night for a Night Navigation session with Edinburgh Young Walkers. An activity that challenges your navigation skills and the senses! Get in touch if you’d like to organise a Night Navigation Course.

Wonderful cycling session with @Health_in_Mind as part of our year long Adventure Wellbeing Programme. We travelled from Musselburgh to the centre of Edinburgh using the #NationalCycleNetwork taking in the Innocent Railway and the amazing tunnel!

More family Bushcraft fun on Friday and Sunday with our ASN Provision. Wonderful to see all the families for some woodland adventures! Delivered in partnership with @ELOutdoorEd and supported by @ELCouncil

Gorgeous weather for an end of Feb Hols ASN Bushcraft Session at @Gifford_Woods. Great to see families connecting and sharing experiences. Delivered in partnership with @ELOutdoorEd and supported by @ELCouncil

This weather doesn’t hold our ASN Provision families back! Great Night Orienteering session. Thanks to David Robertson for his Orienteering expertise - they loved the games! Great to see the @ELCouncil Zap group. In partnership with @ELOutdoorEd supported by @ELCouncil

Back to the woods for the ASN Provision for a wonderful Bushcraft session in @Gifford_Woods We spent the day with 9 fantastic families who embraced the weather and built dens, lit fires, and made lots of new friends! In partnership with @ELOutdoorEd & supported by @ELCouncil

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wishing all our customers, service users, partners funders, associate instructors and volunteers a happy new year! 2023 was an incredible year and we look forward to doing it all again…and more…in 2024.

Last night we embraced the dark & went for a torchlight walk round the Archerfield Walled Garden Willow Walk & Fairy Trail with families who are part of our ASN Provision. This event has become a winter favourite! Topped off with hot chocolates & toasted marshmallows 😋

Back round the fire for a ASN Bushcraft session! Fantastic time again in @Gifford_Woods making memories & building bonds. Great new skills developing as activities that may only have been looked at during previous sessions are being tried & trusted. @ELOutdoorEd and @ELCouncil

Funding success from @TyneEskLeader Rural Communities Development Fund! This funding, from Scottish Ministers in conjunction with the Tyne & Esk Local Action Group, has enabled us to purchase a fleet of bikes and a box trailer, enabling expansion of our cycling provision.

We asked families who participate in our ASN Adventurous Activities Provision to describe what the ASN Provision means to them. We love that HAPPY is the most prominent word! With @ELOutdoorEd and @ELCouncil

Last Friday saw us go back to the woods! A fantastic ASN Bushcraft session in the wonderful @Gifford_Woods. An environment where children feel free to explore new skills supported by their parents/ carers & volunteers. In partnership with @ELOutdoorEd & supported by @ELCouncil
