EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of adventure and determination at an Outward Bound school in Devon during the 1960s. The image features two young boys, dressed in thick sweaters, corduroy trousers, and hiking boots, intently focusing on their teacher as he prepares them for a rock climbing expedition. The teacher, a stern yet compassionate figure, dons a hard hat and adjusts the ropes attached to the cliff face. The boys, one with a determined expression and the other with a hint of apprehension, mirror the intensity of their teacher's gaze. The Outward Bound movement, which began in the United Kingdom in the late 1800s, aimed to provide young people with physical, mental, and moral training through challenging outdoor activities. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of guidance and teamwork in overcoming obstacles and pushing oneself beyond one's limits. The rugged terrain of Devon's cliffs serves as a stark reminder of the raw beauty and power of nature, emphasizing the connection between the individual and the natural world. This image, taken in 1960, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Outward Bound movement and the transformative impact it has had on generations of young people. As we reflect on the past, we can appreciate the value of these experiences and the role they play in shaping the lives of individuals, fostering resilience, and instilling a sense of adventure and exploration.
