Beginner help.

Hi there. 61 year old. Total beginner, had 60 kilos of weight loss and now want an activity to keep me physical, build my strength back and improve confidence. Never enjoyed heights and so looking to challenge myself in a safe supervised way. I will be in London end of August until mid January. Where do I start? Many thanks.

Further to my earlier post

Started sifting but still feeling beat in bottom of pile and seeing grubs, larvae etc. Should I wait longer?

First timer

I have 50 acres of woodland and grass fields but never made a pile before. I piled up grass clippings, some of them fresh and green, some dried in the sun. Also, cardboard, some soil and as many fallen leaves as I can and old twigs/ branches (probably a mistake). Been going about six weeks. Pretty hot in the middle, less so at the edge so I have kept piling it high instead of wide. Also adding coffee grounds, kitchen scraps and garden prunings, not forgetting the compulsory pee. Thoughts on improving?
