ML Training Day 1

-

I'm directing a Mountain Leader training course for Blue Peris this week. The six candidates have already completes their Walking Group Leader Award and are keen to progress onto more challenging terrain. We went over to Pen y Pass today and covered some micro navigation skills and environmental topics around the back of the Youth Hostel. The mountains are bone dry at the moment so we didn't have such problem travelling over terrain that is usually quite boggy and wet. No problems with the weather and visibility today. As soon as we were back at the centre and had some food we reconvened to have a chat about weather and how it relates to mountain leaders.

The HM was on site during a photo shoot and was trying out various activities. I also had the pleasure of assessing a distant relative of Sir George Everest today and I'm glad to say he passed his abseiling with flying colours, as did everyone else. 😊✔
