Other things took over and almost four years later here I am finishing it, not knowing whether anyone will read it or not. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">As a company we are still here, the past four years have been up and down, but by the end of 2019 we were on the up with regards to bookings. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">So what's new? well the best way I recon is to work backwards. Quackers the disabled, one legged duck who has taken over our life since joining our family in 2016, has just yesterday (Wednesday 24th February 2021) had her first children's book published on Amazon Books. I (David T Firth director of Adventure21 ltd) have now apparently become a published author, which wasn't planned but that takes us forward to Covid19 and a world wide lockdown that saw Quackers and myself living in an off grid cabin built from 90% recycled materials. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The cabin, which we started in January 2016, became liveable just as the March lockdown date hit. We had initially planned a two week off grid stint for around May time 2020 as a sort of short project, but this soon turned into something longer and as the weeks turned into months, Quackers and myself relaxed into off grid living. A book about Quackers adventures was always on the cards but the lockdown gave us the ideal opportunity to write. Being Dyslexic, books are not something I take part in often, reading and writing are not my strong point so this is a bit of a proud moment for me personally, that's not to say Dyslexia has been a major issue in my life, after all it made me become more hands on in life and I suppose circumstances have lead me into the world of Adventure Activities. Whether it was the total isolation, including no phone or internet service that did it or actual events in the woods, it was decided that the book was going to be about the daily goings on in the woods and the friendships forged with Quackers and the many woodland creatures.....including fairies and elves. The book "Quackers and the feather fairies" is a heart warming glimpse into the life of this wonderful little girl. You can follow Quackers Adventures on <a href="@the_adventures_of_quackers">Instagram</a> or FaceBook.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What's planned for the future? well, I recon the future is bright. The past twelve months has been tough on everyone in some way, shape or form, some have had it a lot worse than others that has to be said. How has it been for us? Financially, we are not in a good place, but we have used the time to keep a positive mindset and to focus on the things in life that sometimes we take for granted. In 2019 we had big plans for Adventure21 and had increased our activities list to include Archery Tag, Axe throwing and Catapulting. 2020 was to be our 20th Anniversary year which we intended to celebrate with a birthday party. Twenty years of adventures is something to celebrate, but hey, I suppose we should celebrate everyday.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We aim to open up again in late March 2021 and bookings are now being taken through our <a href="http://www.adventure21.co.uk">WEBSITE</a> its never been easier as we now take online <a href="[center][url=https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/adventure21/?full-items=yes][img]https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/5AsHiu6kQKWhJVBBIFMA[/img][/url][/center] [size=17] [center][b] [/b][/center][/size]">BOOKINGS</a> with a link from most pages.

<u><b>January 2015</b></u></div>
<br />
Well i feel apologies are needed for those who follow our Blog. Last year went in a flash and with trying to keep up with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/84881248964/?fref=nf">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/?lang=en-gb">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.adventure21.co.uk/">Adventure 21</a> we seem to have neglected our blog.<br />
<br />
So in 2015 we will try to do better and keep you informed of whats going on month to month at Adventure 21.<br />
<br />
Some people ask what we do when we are not out doing Adventure activities. Well in short, everyone needs a hobby and mine is Chickens and Farming. I'm lucky to have friends who own and run <a href="http://www.wilcocksfarmcaravansite.co.uk/">Wilcocks farm and caravan site</a>.<br />
<br />
Adventure 21 have used the farm as a base for <a href="http://www.adventure21.co.uk/pages/archery-days-lake-district-lancashire-manchester">Archery</a>, <a href="http://www.adventure21.co.uk/pages/rifle-shooting-cumbria-and-lancashire-and-manchester-uk">Rifle shooting</a> and <a href="http://www.adventure21.co.uk/pages/team-building-events-lake-district-lancashire-manchester">Team building events</a> so we have been friends for some time and a couple of years ago i started looking for a new hobby outside of the usual Adventure activities. I had been helping out on the farm for some year's, coming in to help with lambing at busy times, so the farm seemed a good place to start.<br />

One of the areas which started to interest me was the hen's. Having never had any experience around poultry it was all new and just by chance a friend of mine, John, in <a href="http://www.adventure21.co.uk/pages/coniston-and-coniston-water-in-the-lake-district-cumbria">Coniston, in the Lake District</a> had just hatched out some <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=silkies+chickens&rlz=1C1LENN_enGB442GB442&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=667&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=Pj-sVKv6KITnUre7gvAK&ved=0CCAQsAQ">Silkies</a> and was selling an <a href="http://www.brinsea.co.uk/">Brinsea incubator</a>. Along with some egg's i received from a friend at the farm i hatched my first eggs in September 2013.<br />

Well what can i say...its been so busy this year so far its been difficult to keep up with all the social media information. Something has to suffer and its unfortunately had to be our blog!<br />
<br />
Our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/84881248964/">Facebook</a> group continues to be a great source of conversation and enables us to send pictures out to our customers and lets them tell us how we are doing!<br />
<br />
We have had some great new friends join us on our activities sessions and birthday parties and stag and hen days are on the increase meaning people are staying at home more than going abroad, this can only be good for the economy.<br />

Theres been a lot of sessions so a lot of kit has been out meaning our man in the Lakes Paul Bowes has been training new staff how we / he likes the kit going away.

As always we try to improve our sessions and venues. We have now moved our Coniston Archery right next to the Lake which makes those full days activities run smoother with no travelling once the customers arrive with us. We recently did some archery set up training with new assistants and instructors to keep them current on H & S issues and best practise.<br />

Last week we worked with some of the managers and coaches from Burnley football club. They asked for some orienteering with a competitive slant which is what we gave them. As with football there are the top scorers and those that don't score too high. Th medals and the smiles give away the winning team. They were so happy with the day that the whole team are coming back to us in June, catch up with the details on our next blog.<br />

Dan Nightingale (pictured above) started out as one of our customers who enjoyed it so much he came along voluntary to help on sessions. Over time he got himself kitted out and last month completed his swift Water Rescue Training. He's now on our free lance assistant Instructor list and is working most weekends. His ongoing sessions and training will hopefully see him signed off to run group sessions on his own.<br />

The WWSR course is a fantastic course that involves throwing yourself and others into fast moving water and being rescued! its both fun and informative. A must for anyone involved in taking groups near moving water or even just to get valuable experience around water. (its not just for instructors!)<br />

Busy busy busy, that's how we like it, lots of people coming back to us this year and lots of new customers.<br />

I looked through the calendar for this time last year and we are way in front and bookings are now confirmed and deposits paid up through March to July which is great news for us and the bank of freelance instructors.<br />

We have some old faces back this year, when i say old i don't really mean old, just that we haven't seen them for a while.<br />

John Kennedy is back with us this year after time off looking after his young daughter. She's now at school, so John has found time to come back and join the Adventure 21 team. John's a great laugh and has been in the game for many years and has bags of experience so fits in well with the team.<br />

Although schools funding has been reduced over the past few years, we have tried to be competitive with our prices where possible to enable groups to still enjoy adventure activity trips with us.<br />

Hello to anyone who gets time to look on here, we hope the Autumn and the coming Winter are treating you well. The firewood is stacked in the wood store and the burners are are on but the cold weather hasn't stopped people wanting to get out and enjoy a few adventure activities and paintball. In fact its been the busiest November in the 11 years of Adventure 21.<br />

Recently most of our work has taken place outside of the Lancashire at our base in Coniston. After numerous meetings over the past few weeks we have been busy planning new ventures in the Lancashire and Manchester areas. We are now happy with the extended paint balling venues and should be able to add another site in Colne, we are also working with Chorley Borough Council looking at some adventure training races for beginners, intermediates and corporate team building groups, this will include, sit on top kayaks, a zip wire, assault course etc - watch this space. We have also moved back into local schools in the area offering a range of mobile adventure activities at winter prices, please call us if any of these new ventures are of interest to you.<br />

This month we had a visit from Widnes Vikings Rugby League team, Widnes have just moved up into the super league and decided to use Adventure 21 for one of their pre season training sessions. The brief was "make it tough" so we did. Starting at Coniston Boating center we sent the team on a warm up run and sprint up the road to the fell gate at the start of the Walner Scar road, Coniston side. Anyone that has been up the road in a car will know how steep it is, try running it! After a brief stop to get their breath back the team's chose a log to carry, with instructions not to put it down!<br />
<br />

<br />
The log carry was supposed to be for 2 miles but unfortunately some of the teams put it down which meant that the brief changed and the log was to be carried to the top of the Old Man of Coniston, a height of 803 metres / 2635 feet<br />

It was a good effort by all the team and it must have been the first time that trees had been seen at the top of the Coniston fells in a few hundred years.<br />

Vikings coach Denis Bett's and assistant coach Mick Cassidy said it was a great way to see how the team performed together in a different environment and that the team would gain a lot from it.<br />
<br />
We wish the team well for the new season and we will be watching their progress and taking up the offer of going to watch them play.<br />
