Navigating on complex ground

Navigating on complex ground


Dylan is starting to preparing for the ML training course. He wants to get the most out of his training as it is a preparation for assessment not a basic mountain skills course . Today we looked at the level of navigation expected. Micro navigation in the ML award is a high standard and to reach this takes practice so his ML training will be fine tuning not a shock! Dylan certainly has a natural talent for navigation and he was finding his way around complex steep ground efficiently ! An excellent day with Mountaineering Joe
