Planning the next navigation leg of navigation


Mountain skills course in Snowdonia. This weekend I ran a Mountain skills course for Clair and Andrew. We discussed developing plans for mountain walks including escape routes and timings. We practiced navigating on steep ground, and spent time on understanding the weather in the mountains and how this differs to normal weather forecasts. Also how to deal with mountain emergencies, route finding and learning about the mountain environment. A great weekend for developing walking independence in the mountains.
