Winter Mountain Leader course

Last week I was away participating on a Winter Mountain Leader Training course run by Pete Hill from the Saturday to Thursday.

We had many battles on our hands for the week including wild weather and the hoards of tourists up for the holidays.  The course covered much of the Mountain Leader Training award for taking groups into the hills in winter.  Topics included; safe travel in a winter environment, rescue and safety principles, emergency shelters and navigation to name but a few.

Here's some pics from the week (when the weather was more camera friendly).
