Reece Rennie, the Rotary Club of Bedford Castle's candidate for RYLA 2023 attended the meeting on 3rd October and gave presentation to the Club Members on the 7-Day RYLA Course that he attended. Reece said that he had been prepared for some of the events like rock climbing and kyacking but other activities took him by surprise and definitely challenged well beyond his comfort zone. Reece went on to say he found the 5.6 km walk, map reading by night challenging, the very cold night under canvas, and getting up at 6.am and walking 2 km before breakfast very demanding. Reece said the event had certainly surpassed his expectations and having competed the course he was confident that the experienrce had improved his leadership skills and his awareness and understanding of how to help and motivate those around him.
