Alan had to take a bearing in bad visibility and walk on it with no helping features!

Alan enjoyed his 2 days of Navigation / map reading instruction on the south side of Snowdon. He often walks in the mountain with friends but wanted to be able to navigate safely on his own. During his 2 day, 1 to 1 course he was pushed to his limits having to navigate in some low visibility conditions at times during the day. He built up a good process to consistently hit his destinations. including pacing, timings, taking and walking on bearings, attack points, tick off features, hand railing and using a strategy where he built processes to be followed for each leg, reducing the likelyhood of error and catching it early where it occurs.

Ben on a ML Navigation preparation 2 day course

,

Ben is preparing for his Mountain Leader Award (ML) and wanted to check out his current navigation against the award requirements and bring it up to that standard. We walked around Moel Siabol and on the Snowdon Massive. We focused main on 1.25 and 1.50 scales but also discussed the 1.40 scale. He developed a systematic approach to Navigation and good contour interpretation. He was well up to standard by the end of the 2 days. He left feeling confident that he had everything under control! We even added in a bit of rope work to break things up a bit. If you need help with preparation for your ML give me a call or visit http://mountaineeringjoe.co.uk/mountaineering/navigation-courses-snowdonia/
