What do you enjoy about being a leader:
The freedom ,the adventure and challenge of relying on your our experince and judgement. also the great friendships formed with a common experience. the magic moments in the bush - the smell of Gums after rain, the distant lightning at night from a high campsite, the hush that falls when it is snowing in the Alps, the chuckle of water over pebbles at a rain forest camp site.

Why did you become a leader:
I enjoy meeting so many diverse people and sharing my enjoyment of our outdoors.
