College Exped With The First Years

 ( Hunter Mountaineering will be launched soon )

At the start of the 2 day mini exped

Today was day 2 of the mini exped with the UHI WHC ATM1 students. Craig and I took our groups out together to Steall meadows, then up to Coire Giubhsachan to make camp. The groups were looking at navigation, group leadership, decision making, route choice and personal movement for the 2 days. The rest of the day took us to the top of Aonach Beag, and route choice to find a way down. Today on day 2 we took a more in depth look at a little micro nav, before we headed up Meall Cumhann, and then back to the college in Fort William. A great 2 days, good weather and good company with the new first years at the University and Craig McDonald.
