When I found out my 13 year old foster son Logan had the wonderful gift of a scholarship to Outward Bound and he needed an adult to accompany him I knew it had to be me!

At Outward Bound, we give you the opportunity to write a letter to yourself during your solo - a time of intense reflection in perfect solitude. Sarah's letter is powerful, emotional and if you've ever wondered about taking up the OB challenge, be warned, Sarah's account will have you signed up in no time.

Team OB have just set off on their big GODZone adventure, however the real adventure started well over 12 months ago for the team, or – one could argue – has been years in the making.

In today’s society it’s not only difficult to find the time, but also the environment to reflect on life and discover your true identity. That’s why, when the opportunity arose for Graeme Mead to attend the Discovery Masters course, he grabbed it with both hands.

After 35 years of thinking about OB, Shirley finally took on the challenge of a 21 day course. Read more about her journey.

Nick joined the OB team in September 2015. He came from a background in Primary School teaching and Adventure Racing.

After training as an Occupational Therapist and working as a counsellor, Paula Wood joined our team in 2014. She spent much of her childhood on boats and kayaks and hopes to build the same adventurous life for her children!

If you’ve been on Outward Bound, but you haven’t put it on your CV yet, then you might be missing a trick in differentiating yourself from your competition in the job market.

Our resident chef Paul, has been kind enough to share his tips and tricks for feeding the troops this festive season!
