A stunning time with Adri and Tony in Snowdonia on the Welsh 3000s in 24 hrs challenge. An endurance test in the mountains in complex ground and beautiful scenery. Adri and Tony are preparing for Kili wanted to test their endurance in the mountains. What a perfect day we had. Low winds, sunshine and of course fantastic views. Well done Adri for never giving up when her feet were sore. Thank you to both of you for a great time and of course Chris.

A Great few days with Edwin in Snowdonia. Navigating in the mountains using Timings and contour interpretation and the compass. Edwin wanted to be self sufficient in the mountains. Being able to calculate the time taken on walks at the start of the day. Which he was successfully doing by the end of the navigation course. 1:1 navigation courses you learn so much more with your valuable time totally tailored to you needs. Well done Edwin. Never seen anybody learn so fast as you! Cheers Joe
