Thanks to Raj, Keiran, Louise, Bani, and Dan what a great group I had on our Mountain skills course this March. We had a great time spent over 2 days navigating and discussing mountains skills and the environment which all leads up to walking in the mountains safely. Topics discussed included planning your route, route finding, clothing systems, mountain weather, emergency situations and of course navigation You also get me to chat in the future to keep developing those mountain skills.
